[GENERAL] Autovacuum Launcher Process Exception

[elliott]

Hello,

I have been running PostgreSQL for many months and just recently started
getting this exception upon start up.  Does anyone know what the issue
might be?

LOG:   database system is ready to accept connections
LOG:   autovacuum launcher started
LOG:   autovacuum launcher process PID 7060 was terminated by exception
0xC006
HINT:   See C include file ntstatus.h for a description of the
hexadecimal value.
LOG:   terminating any other active server processes
LOG:   could not open temporary statistics file global/pgstat.tmp: No
such file or directory
LOG:   all server processes terminated; reinitializing
PANIC:   could not open control file global/pg_control: No such file or
directory

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

(Scroll way down to see the answers to the question)

Do you have the binaries on a network filesystem which is sporadically
failing?

 LOG:   could not open temporary statistics file global/pgstat.tmp: No
 such file or directory
 LOG:   all server processes terminated; reinitializing
 PANIC:   could not open control file global/pg_control: No such file or
 directory

So the files in the data directory are suddenly gone?
