I am now using strace on postgres startup and watching the filesystem during the creation of the database. So far, it seems that files in PGHOME/base/1234/ are appearing, but VERY slowly. Thus far it's taken 7 minutes and 92 files have been created. The command has not completed within psql.... Could this be a filesystem corruption issue?
