I have found a few entries on the web but with no clear fix. I even
saw this was a bug.

Can anyone tell me more and how to fix if it is possible?

Thank you

May be stating the obvious, but can you try 'touch
/storage/log/postgresql/postgresql-Tue.log" as postgres to see it it
works. Also, doing the ls -al on /storage/log/postgresql, in case it
has a previous read only file for Tue, and may be even a lsattr on the
paths ( listing the fs type will be useful too, maybe Fedora is using
some extended thingies ).

May be stating the obvious, but can you try 'touch
/storage/log/postgresql/postgresql-Tue.log" as postgres to see it it
works.
% ls -al /storage/log/postgresql 
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 1 postgres postgres  36 Jul 28 13:27 ./
drwxr-x--- 1 root     wheel    208 Jul 27 13:34 ../
-rw-rw-r-- 1 postgres postgres   0 Jul 28 13:27 postgresql-Tue.log

Still permission denied


 
Also, doing the ls -al on /storage/log/postgresql, in case it
has a previous read only file for Tue, and may be even a lsattr on the
paths

# lsattr /storage/log

What file system is that? ext4?

What do you get for:
  ls -l /storage/log/postgresql/postgresql-Tue.log
Perhaps the file exists and you don't have permissions to open it.

If not, does the following succeed as user "postgres":
  touch /storage/log/postgresql/postgresql-Tue.log
Do you get the same error message?

What do you get for:
  getfacl -p /storage/log/postgresql
  getfattr -d /storage/log/postgresql
Maybe some weird permissions or attributes are set.

Another idea: the file system could be mounted read-only.

Yours,

No, it has been working for long until recently.

If the logfile is being written to as the user postgres then .. is what
is preventing it. Only root and wheel have access so unless postgres is
in group wheel you need to

chmod o+x /storage/log at least.

It may be a systemd story. On another machine, with systemd 222, postgresql.service is starting fine. Same permisssions/settings on log directories
On the system with issue, Fedora 22 is running systemd 219.13

 % ls -al postgresql

% sudo systemctl status postgresql

Thank you so much. Again, permission story
