At the end of crash recovery, unlogged relations are reset to the empty state, using their init fork as the template. The init fork is copied to the main fork without going through shared buffers. Unfortunately WAL replay so far has not necessarily flushed writes from shared buffers to disk at that point. In normal crash recovery, and before the introduction of 'fast promotions' in fd4ced523 / 9.3, the END_OF_RECOVERY checkpoint flushes the buffers out in time. But with fast promotions that's not the case anymore. To fix, force WAL writes targeting the init fork to be flushed immediately (using the new FlushOneBuffer() function). In 9.5+ that flush can centrally be triggered from the code dealing with restoring full page writes (XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended), in earlier releases that responsibility is in the hands of XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE's replay function. Backpatch to 9.1, even if this currently is only known to trigger in 9.3+. Flushing earlier is more robust, and it is advantageous to keep the branches similar. Typical symptoms of this bug are errors like 'ERROR: index "..." contains unexpected zero page at block 0' shortly after promoting a node.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
