"df -i" should help.

I think you have missed the point here.  Postgres is using 0.1 percent
of your disk; whatever is eating disk space or inodes is somewhere in
the 92.9% of the disk that you have not told us about.  You are focusing
on killing the messenger instead of finding the true source of the
problem.

You should also check into the per-user-quota possibility.
