Hi, my Postgres instance is stuck in a crash loop and I need urgent help.
What happened: My volume hit 92% capacity. I ran a DELETE FROM on a large table which generated WAL logs that filled the remaining space. Now Postgres cannot complete startup recovery because it can't write to pg_wal.
Error: FATAL: could not write to file "pg_wal/xlogtemp.26": No space left on device
What I tried:
- Upgraded volume from 1GB to 5GB (2+ hours ago) but filesystem still shows no space
- Added start command to delete xlogtemp files but Postgres creates a new one during recovery and hits the same error
The volume resize does not seem to have propagated to the filesystem. I need Railway to expand the filesystem on the volume so Postgres can complete WAL recovery and start.

Service: Postgres
Volume: postgres-volume
