Starting up postgres, I get the log contents below.
Is it really as bad as it suggests, namely that I
need to recover from backup?
The pg_clog directory has the following:
# ls -al pg_clog/
total 1216
drwx------ 2 postgres wheel 512 Jan 17 09:09 ./
drwx------ 10 postgres wheel 512 Feb 20 00:44 ../
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 253952 Dec 8 11:09 0000
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 253952 Dec 19 17:29 0001
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 253952 Jan 2 17:49 0002
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 253952 Jan 16 10:19 0003
-rw------- 1 postgres wheel 90112 Jan 22 15:34 0004
The error seems to suggest that it is at EOF...

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
