Hello,

I encountered an issue while attempting to reclaim space from a heavily bloated 
table:

Initial analysis using 
https://github.com/ioguix/pgsql-bloat-estimation/blob/master/table/table_bloat.sql
 indicated approximately 600GB of bloat in the table.

I initiated a VACUUM FULL operation to reclaim this space, but during 
execution, the server experienced a power failure.


After server recovery:

1. The database came back online successfully
2. The space used by the in-progress table reconstruction was not freed
3. The newly wasted space (bloat + partial VACUUM FULL) is not shown using the 
above query, only the initial bloat.


Is there a way to reclaim this space without resorting to a full pg_dump and 
pg_restore cycle? 

Thanks.

Best,
Pierre
