Title: fdatasync failed, I/O error

Our customer is running Postgresql v. 7.3.4 on Linux(Redhat 3.0 Ent.)
The application crashed and I am trying to understand what could have caused this kind of problems:

   fdatasync of log file 0, segment 2 failed: input/output error
   PGSTAT: Error closing temp stats file
      .../.../postgresql/global/pgstat.tmp.10278: Input/output error

I suppose they could be using NFS (I know, I know... we have to deal with that. But could it be something else? A bad disk?)

Thank you,
Mike
