Note that storing the PostgreSQL data on a SMB mount is *not* safe and
not supported. I don't know how your specific disk does it, but if it
uses SMB or NFS, this is not safe. If it's an iSCSI mount, for
example, it should be safe. But it certainly looks like an SMB mount -
in which case you should rethink your strategy.

I would bet your problems are caused by this.
