This doesn't sound like a problem with wal archiving or hot standby.
It doesn't sound like a postgres bug at all.  It sounds like your
filesystem deleted some files that Postgres needs. The pg clog
contains critical data that you're not going to be able to get by
without.

I suggest posting to pgsql-general and include more information to
help people help you. You say xfs_repair mentioned some missing files
but don't include the actual error messages for example.
