SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/postgres from 'setattr' accesses on the directory postgres_data.

*****  Plugin file (36.8 confidence) suggests  *******************************

If you think this is caused by a badly mislabeled machine.
Then you need to fully relabel.
Do
touch /.autorelabel; reboot

If you want to allow postgres to have setattr access on the postgres_data directory
Then you need to change the label on postgres_data
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'postgres_data'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: postgresql_var_run_t, postgresql_tmp_t, postgresql_db_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v 'postgres_data'


*****  Plugin catchall (5.04 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that postgres should be allowed setattr access on the postgres_data directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep postmaster /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
