I saw that too, but it doesn't seem to explain 20GB worth of pg_xlog. The fine manual mentions somewhere that we can keep up to twice the specified number of xlog segments, so one would expect at most 16MB * 600 or about 9.6GB in pg_xlog. (And this is assuming that checkpoint_timeout is large enough to let checkpoint_segments be the controlling factor.) So there's something else going on. 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
