The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4096 Logged by: Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1 Operating system: Linux Description: PG 8.3.1. confused about remaining disk space Details:
I ran today a legacy application with PG 8.3.1 on a test machine. The DB is some ~30 MB. Default tables do have OIDs and BLCKSZ is set system-wide to 16384 (because of another DB). A lot of messages like these do appear wich tend to indicate PG 8.3.1 is confused. This set of SQL scripts used to run from PG 7.0.3 to PG 8.2.6 with no problem. WARNING: could not create relation-cache initialization file "base/19693/pg_internal.init.29329": No space left on device DETAIL: Continuing anyway, but there's something wrong. create temp table param0 (max0 date, datelb date) : ERROR: could not create relation 1663/19693/634161: No space left on device row number 0 is out of range 0..-1 row number 0 is out of range 0..-1 WARNING: could not create relation-cache initialization file "base/19693/pg_internal.init.29330": No space left on device DETAIL: Continuing anyway, but there's something wrong. create temp table param0 (max0 date, datelb date) : ERROR: could not create relation 1663/19693/634162: No space left on device row number 0 is out of range 0..-1 row number 0 is out of range 0..-1 Disk saturation, you think ?
