I have a 7.2.1 backend running VACUUM which appears to be blocking all other processes. I have issued SIGTERM and SIGINT directly to that backend and also killed the client process, but the VACUUM continues chewing up CPU and blocking others. I know we need an upgrade; does anyone know how I can get this VACUUM backend killed without taking down all the blocked/pending UPDATEs and INSERTs?
