I suspect that the files are being made by some add-on code --- have you got any custom C code, third-party modules, etc? regards, tom lane PS: BTW, running a three-year-old Red Hat release without any of the subsequent updates doesn't seem like the sanest approach to system administration. According to my changelogs, Red Hat shipped 7.4.16 for only about two months in the spring of 2007, and you're clearly running an ancient kernel as well. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
