I've repeatedly seen PGDATA or pg_xlog been put directly on a mountpoint, which means there well be a non-writable lost+found directory there. (A case with pg_xlog was also reported as a support case at credativ.) I'm usually advising against using the top level directory directly, but it's not uncommon to encounter it. > In any case, if the cost of such a file is one more line of log output > during a crash restart, most people would have no problem at all in > ignoring that log output.
