Issues you may have administering your server's disk usage properly
doesn't indicate any bug in PostgreSQL.

I would observe that if you shift storage over to run atop NFS, you
may significantly increase the risk of server failure leading to
corruption or destruction of your database. See the documentation:
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/creating-cluster.html>

At any rate, none of this indicates a bug in PostgreSQL.
