I don't know much about pglogical, but if it's holding back the xmin horizon (as it appears to be doing) that is a really bad pglogical bug. If you try vacuum verbose (doesn't have to be FULL) on some table that gets lots of update traffic, does it report a large number of dead-but- not-removable rows? > I did try TRUNCATE before but even as the postgres user, but for some > reason it didn't allow me to truncate because it was a system table. Mmm. You could get around that, but possibly not without restarting in single-user mode, which is probably more interruption in service than you want. It might be easier to force-quit the pglogical sessions. 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
