Understood.  It's my current top priority.

Ugh, then it sounds like there's a real as-yet unidentified problem.

The other thing to check before panicking is, has this server ever run
with fsync off and crashed (either kernel panic or power failure)?

I have never turned off fsync.  Also, the server is showing an uptime of 281 days, and the postgres instance has been up since 2/21.
 

What does the storage system on this server look like? Are they IDE or
SCSI drives? Is there an LVM layer involved? etc.

Storage is on an NFS mounted Fiber Netapp volume.

Let me know if you need more...
