This sounds like your max_fsm_pages setting is too low, so the server
cannot track free pages any more
Bump it up (there used to be a rule of thumb, IIRC it was 65536/1 GB of
data/disk space - please correct me, if I'm wrong).
IIRC, you need to restart PostgresSQL after altering that setting. A
VACUUM is prbably a good thing as well, maybe even VACUUM FULL. Do not
delete anything!
HTH,
Tino.
