Not if you don't know how to run PostgreSQL or your machines, no.
Migrating to a new platform without sufficient testing or expertise
is always unwise (sorry, but you deserved that for the dig at
Postgres).

Either:
1. You have a bad PostgreSQL install. What OS are you using?
2. You are out of disk space on the PostgreSQL partition.
3. You are having hardware errors, such as a corrupt HDD.
4. Your OS is having disk or file management errors.
Regardless, you'd better shutdown Postgres and defer all work on the
database until you've diagnosed your hardware/configuration problem. I
hope you have a previous backup, as you may find that you need to
revert to an earlier backup to restore your data.
