Re: When adding millions of rows at once, getting out of disk space errors

I just changed the account manually and did not set a disk quota..

However, now I have bigger problems since the service will not start up
anymore.  I tried re-booting twice.

First I get:

2009-02-18 21:24:25 GMT FATAL:  lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists
2009-02-18 21:24:25 GMT HINT:  Is another postmaster (PID 1888) running
in data directory "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data"?

After I delete the file, I try to start the service again and get:

2009-02-18 13:27:18 PST FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

Any ideas?
