What causes xlog bloat is inability to release old WAL because either (a) we're not able to complete checkpoints, or (b) WAL archiving is enabled but malfunctioning, and the old WAL segments are being kept pending successful archiving. Either (a) or (b) should result in bleating in the postmaster log. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
