Thanks for the reply.

I think disk space shouldn't be the problem:

postgres@farnsworth:/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_log$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             7.5G  4.1G  3.1G  58% /
none                  496M  228K  496M   1% /dev
none                  501M  140K  501M   1% /dev/shm
none                  501M  100K  501M   1% /var/run
none                  501M     0  501M   0% /var/lock

It is an Ubuntu 10.10 running in a VirtualBox. The storage is located
locally on my HDD, no SAN or network access.

I'm afraid it is an error in my code...
