[GENERAL] 7.1b6 - pg_xlog filled fs, postmaster won't start

2001-03-21 Thread Gordon A. Runkle

2001-04-06 Thread Gordon A. Runkle
Hello all, I'm running 7.1RC2 and have a question/problem: I have a table which is 28150 pages in size. It has two indices of 8001 and 9750 pages. The filesystem on which pg_xlog resides has ~750MB free. No other PostgreSQL work is running. Yet, when running VACUUM ANALYZE on this table, I r
