The same problem exists in 8.1 too. See this thread

Tom and Magnus tracked down a cause, but I don't think a fix was ever
implemented.
Thomas seems to have two different issues there: the "could not rename
file" problem on the pg_xlog file is probably explained by the mechanism
we identified back then (and I'm not sure why no fix has been
installed)
just had another total lockdown. the writer-process was trying to rename
the C1 to CA which failed:
2006-10-24 14:27:58 [5196] LOG: 00000: could not rename file
"pg_xlog/0000000100000004000000C1" to "pg_xlog/0000000100000004000000CA",
continuing to try
2006-10-24 14:27:58 [5196] LOCATION: pgrename, dirmod.c:142
when checking the process with process explorer, it reveals that it has
this file handles to pg_xlog open:
D:\DB\PostgreSQL-8.2\data\pg_xlog
D:\DB\PostgreSQL-8.2\data\pg_xlog\0000000100000004000000C3
under normal operation, "writer process" does not seem to have a file
handle to the xlog directory (D:\DB\PostgreSQL-8.2\data\pg_xlog)
the last error log entry prior to the lockdown was about 15min, so
probably the two problems are unrelated.
unfortunately, before i could try to get more informations, i had to
restart the pg_ctl due to the system being in half-productive mode. that
leads me to the question: what are the chances of me being helpful with
getting more informations? i can have the db run like that for some more
days, but for long term i can't babysit our application and might have to
go back to 8.1.
thanks,
thomas
