Hi, we have serious problem with our postgresql db.

A staling query were killed and all the WAL files were deleted. Afterwards
any attempts to restart postmaster fails, probably due to missing links from
pg_control to the WAL files.

How do we solve this problem? Erasing all lines in pg_control did not
help...
