You aren't the first to report such a thing, but nobody has the foggiest idea how it could happen short of a backend crash. Have they had any crashes lately (or more specifically, around the mod times of those files, if you checked them)? Also, were the pg_temp schemas you zapped particularly high-numbered? Low-numbered ones would get cleaned out on the next use, but if the crash happened at a peak in the number of active backends it's easy to believe the files might hang around for awhile. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
