[GENERAL] hot standby data folder bigger than primary

2014-04-16 Thread yhe
hi, I have a primary/standby setup and I noticed after many days running, the standby's data folder is growing bigger than the primary, and it keeps growing bigger, now it is almost 4 times the size, eg, primary data folder is 2G, standby is 8G. Does anyone know why it is so? best, Ying --

hi, Andy, We are using streaming hot standby, no wal shipping. I checked and base and pg_xlog. both are fine. The extra space is used by /pg_multixact/members(about 5G) and /pg_multixact/offsets(about 1.5G) The doc said that pg_multixact contains multitransaction data used for shared row lock

hi, Andy, Thanks. Right we are using 9.2.4 but plan to upgrade soon. I read 9.3.2 release notes and it is fixed specifically for this. best, Ying -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/hot-standby-data-folder-bigger-than-primary-tp5800402p5800545.html Sent fr
