What file system is that? ext4?
What do you get for:
ls -l /storage/log/postgresql/postgresql-Tue.log
Perhaps the file exists and you don't have permissions to open it.
If not, does the following succeed as user "postgres":
touch /storage/log/postgresql/postgresql-Tue.log
Do you get the same error message?
What do you get for:
getfacl -p /storage/log/postgresql
% getfacl -p /storage/log/postgresql
# file: /storage/log/postgresql
# owner: postgres
# group: postgres
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x
getfattr -d /storage/log/postgresql
Maybe some weird permissions or attributes are set.
Another idea: the file system could be mounted read-only.
No, it has been working for long until recently.
% egrep " ro,|,ro " /proc/mounts does not return the path
