Hm, I'd like to know more about that corruption. Did you report it when
it occured?

Greetings,

Andres Freund

Thanks Andres for explanations, sorry for my previous mess. I didn't reported the corruption when it occured as it was my fault, not a PG bug, as the main cause was that I was using network drive, knowingly it's unreliable for DB but management didn't believe me.

I had these kind of errors:

pg_dump emet_istina -F c -n usr_...
pg_dump: schema with OID 308991 does not exist

\dt+ pg_temp*.*
ERROR:  catalog is missing 1 attribute(s) for relid 5733555

drop schema pg_temp_9;
ERROR:  cache lookup failed for relation 5733715

drop schema pg_temp_6;
ERROR:  cannot drop schema pg_temp_6 because other objects depend on it
DETAIL:  table pg_temp_6.cur_dde000_105577 depends on schema pg_temp_6
HINT:  Use DROP ... CASCADE to drop the dependent objects too.

I had to manualy remove/edit records from pg_class, pg_type, pg_namespace,
pg_depend, pg_shdepend.

I finaly managed to make it works and could dump everything and rebuild the DB for more security. Server was down for 1 week, and that event gave me proven arguments to have local storage. That was with 9.6 and I took the opportunity to upgrade to 10.3 at the same time.

Now it's more clear it's a PG9/10/12 problem (didn't tried 11) with vacuum/autovacuum not changing xid on temp tables. So, as long a temp table exists, it take age and finish by causing a wraparound protection.
