Thread: read only error..hard reboot not work as well
FYI & A FATAL: lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 18779) running in data directory "/var/lib/pgs ql/data"? FATAL: pre-existing shared memory block (key 5432001, ID 3276801) is still in u se HINT: If you're sure there are no old server processes still running, remove th e shared memory block or just delete the file "postmaster.pid".

You have a file system which is mounted as read-only, that much is clear ... but not much else. That is going to break lots of things on your computer, PostgreSQL included. Why is the file system mounted read-only? http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Guide_to_reporting_problems -Kevin
It seems postgres is suffering from a file system condition, so your solution lies there and not with postgres. There are many reasons why a file system can become read-only. For example, if you are using virtual machines and run in to a low I/O bandwidth condition, the vm software can put the file systems into a read-only state to prevent data corruption. Some clusterware and storage hardware vendors also do this on purpose to prevent corruption. Without knowing more about your system there are too many possbiel causes to list them here. My suggestion is to search the Internet for a possible cause/solution. If, for example, you are using vmware on Linux then you might want to Google for "vmware linux read only filesystem".
