Hi,
I've got a database with about 155GB of binary data, however when I
run the unix utility df, it reports only 60GB of disk space is
being used. I've extracted random samples of data from the
database, and it all appears correct, so I presume it's not
corrupt. Can anyone tell me whether there's some sort of disk
compression happening with large objects?
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
# df

This is Postresql version 8.1.4 on a slightly modified version of
RHEL 4 (2.6.17 kernel).
You sure you're not using tablespaces?
