I realized last Friday that my /opt hard disk was full. The disk was full about 2-4 hours of moderate activity. The disk ran out of space for reasons outside of postgres I'm really at a loss of what to do. Does anyone have suggestions for what my next step should be. T
More details:
When I run postgress...Postgres seems to come up...However, it is completely unresponsive to my application. Everything just hangs.
postgres 7364 0.0 1.5 1089056 27164 ? S 09:35 0:00 /opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/bin/postgres -D /opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/data postgres 7365 0.0 0.0 10700 984 ?

I also tried to run pg_dump to make a backup and that failed with the following message:
