Just to be sure: the postgres instance didn't exist before you started
to use it, right?

I don't really understand your question, but it was like this:

The OS was installed a few days before, the i installed the postgresql instance. I configured my setup with a backup server by WAL archiving. Then i tested some things and i played around with pg_reorg (but i didn't use ist till then) then i dropped the database, shut down my app, installed a fresh dump and restarted the app.

Did you get the PANIC and WARNINGs on the primary or the replica? It
might be worth doing some comparisons between the two systems.

It only happend on my primary server. My backup server has no suspicious
log entries.

Do you have a full copy of the two data directories? It might be worth
exploring the differences there, but that could be a tedious process.

Is it still worth to make the copy now? At the moment everything is running fine.

It is pretty obvious to me the segmentation fault is the main reason for
getting the PANIC afterwards. What can cause a segmentation fault? Is
there anything to analyse further?

It's clear that they are connected, but it's not clear that it was the
cause. To speculate: it might be that disk corruption caused the
segfault as well as the PANICs.

Do you have any core files?

No, i didn't found any in my postgresql dirs. Should i have a core file around when i see a segmentation fault? What should i look for?

Can you get backtraces?

I have never done it before. But as everything runs fine at the moment it's quite useless, isn't it?
