Thanks Raymond. 

But I think the symptoms that I am seeing are different though I get the 
no disk space issue in the following ways:

1. There is enough disk space on my device (output of df -h), 300M is used from 
56G space.

/dev/mapper/data1-object--cache
                       58G  300M   58G   1% /object-cache1



2.  ls -rtl pg_xlog:

drwx------ 2 postgres 75     4096 Sep 28 03:45 archive_status
-rw------- 1 postgres 75 16777216 Sep 28 04:33 00000001000000000000000B
-rw------- 1 postgres 75 16777216 Sep 28 04:34 00000001000000000000000C

( I see the WAL xlog files are getting created and the older ones are getting 
deleted correctly and 
   they are using hardly 32MB from a partition of 58G so where is the question 
of no space)

3. Could this be related to: 
         
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140414014442.15385.74...@wrigleys.postgresql.org.

Here there is mention of 'long writes and short writes', will trying out latest 
version of postgress help? 

4. I tried with 'archive_command = /usr/bin.true' but still I face the 
""pg_xlog/xlogtemp.7884": No space left on device" issue.

5. Once I  hit ""pg_xlog/xlogtemp.7884": No space left on device" I start 
seeing it for other files as well: 

    "WARNING:  could not create relation-cache initialization file 
"base/16384/pg_internal.init.13715": No space left 
     on device DETAIL:  Continuing anyway, but there's something wrong."

6. I am seeing this issue when I create around 60,000 to 70,000 files (each of 
size 4k) in the data base.


Appreciate any quick help on this.

It's not a bug - you're out of disk space. As it happens, I saw a blog
post yesterday on precisely this problem, and approaches to fixing it:

HTH,
