I didn't mean to sound arrogant, and I tried to help Francesco as good as I can without an AIX at my hands. I know from personal experience that you often don't have a choice, but I believe that the DBA is not just a gofer, she also has a certain responsibility. Part of that responsibility is to stand up and scream when the system is in a condition that threatens the security, availability and integrity of the data. And since no man is a prophet in his own land, you can give this complaint force by referring to external experts. This is something the PostgreSQL mailing lists can help with.
