Since you're apparently using archiving, you could pull the missing xlog
files back from the archive no? Either manually, or automatically by
installing a recovery.conf file. I am kinda wondering what happened
here though. Did you do anything to the database between the shutdown
and the attempted restart? It looks like you have a pg_control file
that is quite a bit older than it should be.
