Hi Railway team,
My production PostgreSQL database is completely down due to storage exhaustion.
ERROR: "PANIC: could not write to file "pg_wal/xlogtemp.30": No space left on device"
Database cannot start up because WAL files can't write to disk.
Current situation:
- Database service: postgres-production-8551.up.railway.app
- Project: overflowing-happiness (production)
- At 75% capacity before crash, now completely full
- Need emergency storage increase to restore service
Root cause identified: scan_data JSONB column consuming 172MB Plan: Drop scan_data column once database is accessible
Request: Temporary storage increase to restore database service.
This is blocking production. Please help ASAP.

Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:
- 🧵 Postgres crashed - No Space Left on Device
- 🧵 "No space left on device" on Database with plenty of space
- 🧵 PostgreSQL Service Crash Loop - "No space left on device" with 99% Free Storage
If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hiya,
I see that you redeployed and expanded your Volume, which is definitely the solution when you're out of storage. Are you good to go?
