Does it indicate any data corruption in postgres? Yes, this is a critical error. Unless my math is off, a PostgreSQL disk file should not contain more than 131072 blocks (1GB / 8KB), so something is whacky there. But I find the second entry just as alarming. I am no hardware guy, but I believe that a bus error would indicate a hardware problem. Is there a chance that you can perform a thorough hardware check on the machine? Make sure that you have a good backup from before this happened.
