* Possible database corruption - urgent

I have a situation where pg_xlog started growing until it filled up the
disk drive.

I got alerted to the error and started investigating.

Checked the logs and I am seeing the following entry repeatedly:

 

2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT ERROR:  could not open file
"base/16748/181979366_fsm": No such file or directory

2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT CONTEXT:  writing block 1 of relation
base/16748/181979366_fsm

2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT WARNING:  could not write block 1 of
base/16748/181979366_fsm

 

I checked the actual file system, and that file is indeed missing.
181979366 exists.

Is there a way to get the system back up and running?

I stopped the postmaster and am moving the pg_xlog directory to a
partition which has room left in it, but I need to resolve this missing
file problem

I forgot to mention - PostgreSQL 9.0 - my apologies.

Can I just recreate the file using touch so it exists and then restart
potgresql?

The system coredumped and was attempting to go intorecovery mode

Sorry for the cut and paste error.

This is the log entry when the pg_xlog partition ran out of space:
