Hello,

I wonder whether extra measures are necessary to recover from a disk full error besides freeing enough disk space?

It seems that there are enough security measures:

Is it no problem if the WAL is within the same disk space and can't be written as well?

I didn't see anything in the FAQ:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ

Should you free enough disk space, do a checkpoint, restart the server and check the server log?

Thank you very much,

Peter
