Re: BUG #13624: App shutdown due to fatal error, and want start after that

Gee, that looks _interesting_ (to me). I'd guess that the directory entry:
/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/17150 is a symlink which points to
itself. Have you done an:

ls -l /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/17150

or tried to:

cd /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/17150

and likely gotten:

bash: cd: a: Too many levels of symbolic links

Then you _might_ (own risk!) do and then try restarting:

rm /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/17150
