I have a situation where pg_xlog started growing until it filled up the
disk drive.

I got alerted to the error and started investigating.

Checked the logs and I am seeing the following entry repeatedly:

2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT ERROR: could not open file
"base/16748/181979366_fsm": No such file or directory

2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT CONTEXT: writing block 1 of relation
base/16748/181979366_fsm

2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT WARNING: could not write block 1 of
base/16748/181979366_fsm

I checked the actual file system, and that file is indeed missing.
181979366 exists.

Is there a way to get the system back up and running?

I stopped the postmaster and am moving the pg_xlog directory to a
partition which has room left in it, but I need to resolve this missing
file problem
