Unused disk space is released by VACUUM FULL. If I understand your situation correctly, I'd recommend temporarily adding some more disk space or moving some data to another partition to allow the postmaster to startup. Then you can reclaim some disk space using VACUUM FULL and/or REINDEX. In the future, run VACUUM more frequently (and perhaps bump max_fsm_pages). -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
