Hi all I have been experiencing some strange behaviour on my postgres DB. I am VERY new to PG so bear with me as what I am going to ask is all probably very basic to you guys. First off over the last couple of weeks we have been seeing in the dir /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/16450 some large file creations, so for example
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 1073741824 Sep 29 15:15 2683 -rw------- 1 postgres root 1073741824 Sep 29 15:15 2613.77 -rw------- 1 postgres root 1073741824 Sep 29 15:15 2613.83 -rw------- 1 postgres root 65347584 Sep 29 15:16 2613.88 -rw------- 1 postgres root 1073741824 Sep 29 15:16 2613.86 -rw------- 1 postgres root 1073741824 Sep 29 15:17 2613.82 -rw------- 1 postgres root 1073741824 Sep 29 15:17 2613.81 -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 380346368 Sep 29 15:17 16451.1 -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 217710592 Sep 29 15:18 33820 -rw------- 1 postgres root 119046144 Sep 29 15:18 2683.1 -rw------- 1 postgres root 1073741824 Sep 29 15:18 2613.84 What are these files and why have they suddenly started to be created and why so large? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
