Hi everyone
Was running a VACUUM on a database on a partition which was running out
of disk space. During VACUUM the server process died and failed to restart.
Running PostgreSQL 8.1.4
I basically want to get the system back up and running ASAP with as
little data loss as possible. All and any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is output from error log:
