There should be at most 2*checkpoint_segments+1 files in pg_xlog, which are 16MB each. So you shouldn't be having a problem. If there are more than this, it could be because you have currently/previously had archive_command set and the archive command failed to execute correctly, or the database was shutdown/crashed prior to the archive commands being executed. IIRC there was a bug that allowed this to happen, but that was some time ago. Perhaps you could show us the dir listing, so we can check that there is not a new problem emerging? Can you also show us the contents of the pg_xlog/archive_status directory? Thanks. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
