Postgres cannot start after resizing

2 months ago

My postgres volume was full (500MB). I upgraded to Hobby plan, and resized to 5GB.

The postgres service does not start now, and I see this in the deploy logs:

2026-04-11 05:33:10.608 UTC [33] FATAL: could not write to file "pg_wal/xlogtemp.33": No space left on device

Please help. Thanks!

Hi lerk,

Your volume resize from 500 MB to 5 GB didn't fully apply on our side, which is why Postgres kept failing to start with the "No space left on device" error. I've fixed that and redeployed the service.

You should now see around 4.7 GB of usable space on the volume, and Postgres should come back up on its own in the next minute or two.
