Hi everyone,
I use PostgreSQL 8.1.9 and Debian 4.0 "etch" Linux kernel 2.6.18
(debian precompiled).

I install my db and insert one test database without problems.
I create schema of this db as sql script. Sql script is a list about
create relation table test_table.TEMP__N and set relation and drop
relation table where N about from 0 to 300.

When I insert sql script with shell command:
psql -d test < script.sql > script.log 2> script.err
in file error I see 3 error sort:
ERROR:  could not extend relation 1663/63659/85595: No space left on device
ERROR:  could not write block 21 of temporary file: No space left on device
ERROR:  could not write to hash-join temporary file: No space left on device

I test all in two server machines:
1) AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 244, 1790.535MHz, 1024MB
2) AMD Opteron(tm) Bi Processor 244, 1804.153MHz, 8192MB

First errors begining when sql script inserts:
1) relation about TEMP__100
2) relation about TEMP__227

In any case there is space in device after sql script:
