I am now using strace on postgres startup and watching the filesystem
during the creation of the database. So far, it seems that files in
PGHOME/base/1234/ are appearing, but VERY slowly. Thus far it's taken
7 minutes and 92 files have been created. The command has not
completed within psql....
Could this be a filesystem corruption issue? The host is using ext4.
