psql: FATAL: the database system is starting up

Hi,

I run out of disk space on the box and had to delete some files and restart=
 postgres. Ever since I have been getting the above message. PS shows this =
process:

9351 ?        D      0:04 postgres: startup process

Running an strace on this process shows that it is trying to write 8K of ze=
ros to a file called 023D in pg_clog but fails at 224K and it just keeps tr=
ying forever.

I tried replacing the file with one I created - 256K as the other files in =
the pg_clog and filled with zeros. But it keeps doing the same thing :

open("pg_clog/023D", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) =3D 10
_llseek(10, 221184, [221184], SEEK_SET) =3D 0
write(10, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 8192=
) =3D 8192
fsync(10)                               =3D 0
close(10)


Any ideas on what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it will be=
 greatly appreciated. Need to get it fixed fast.


Many Thanks
valiouk
