Really appreciate any inputs. Thanks.
Sounds like your WAL files have been corrupted, which indicates faulty hardware (assuming that you haven't set fsync=off). I don't really know if there's any way to recover from this; you may have to restore from a backup. In any case, I'd question the hardware that you're running on.
