Thanks, Adrian and Tom, you were right, I wasn't looking at the correct file. My postgresql.conf has: log_directory = '/var/log/postgresql' log_filename = 'postgresql-8.3-main.log' The server startup messages were in this file (which is why I assumed it was the correct one), but for some reason after a restart the logs were created as /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.3-main.log.1241706461 I've moved away all the old files, but every time I restart (using the /etc/init.d/postgres script), new log files with a timestamp are created. AFAICS, there are no open filehandles or locks left pointing to '/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.3-main.log'. Well, at least now I know where to look for the warnings.
