Thread: Postmaster won't start.

I came in this morning and Postgres was down.  I simply tried to restart
the postmaster, it begins to start up and then dies.  I know I'm not
divulging much information, but I don't know what would be useful to the
gurus.

Thanks,

The disk was full, please ignore this message and my ignorance :).

Nothing to see here, move along.

Um, did an error message seem like Too Much Information for...an error?

PostgreSQL version: SELECT version()
Operating system: uname -a
libc version (if you have a braindead linux libc)
And...the error message sent to the console and the message sent to
the stderr log.

That would be a good start.
