You're not running out of disk space where that writes, are you?
There is 32 GB free.
It looks like the vacuum command does not want to be execute. The
other VACUUM is still progressing on the main database in another
postgres.exe shell.
Wait -- are you saying you're running two postgres instances against
the same data directory at the same time? (I sure hope not.)
I did. :( Shame on me. I just realised while reading doc on postgres that it
is not made for that but only for a single instance at the time. I hope I
did not break anything.
You've almost certainly corrupted the data store. This is why you
should always make a complete file system backup with the postmaster
stopped before you start doing rescue work.
Hi Scott and Kevin,
Thank you for these comments. But I'm learning the hard way right now
since all this has already been done. I appreaciate the suggestions of
Kevin on the terminology (since I'm not a native English speaking guy)
and complementing the help. I can assure that it would have been clear
if worded like that, for me at least.
Hopefully, our customer is supposed to have a full file backup from the
evening. So they would have loose only 3 hours of work in that respect.
So the plan is that after the vacuum if the DB is not working well, we
start from the backup, 3 hours before the problem, and we run a VACUUM
using pgAdmin with the normal postmaster during the weekend.
Again, thank you very much for all your time and help. It really is
helping and supportive for me (even if I'm making mistakes).
Best regards,
