Hello, I have a master slave (read replica) setup running pg 9.4.4. I'm trying to find the dead tuples out both the master and slave Here's what it looks like on master: # select relname ,n_live_tup ,n_dead_tup from pg_stat_user_tables; relname | n_live_tup | n_dead_tup ------------------+------------+------------ test_52 | 4998366 | 0 test_v2 | 25182728 | 4086591 test_1mrows | 1000127 | 0 That seems legit because I did an update to ~4million rows just before this. Here's what it looks on slave though #select relname ,n_live_tup ,n_dead_tup from pg_stat_user_tables; relname | n_live_tup | n_dead_tup ------------------+------------+------------ test_52 | 0 | 0 test_v2 | 0 | 0 test_1mrows | 0 | 0 the postgres data directory on the slave is configured to a tmpfs mounted store. Would this cause it to have zero live & dead tuples ? postgres version on master and slave: PostgreSQL 9.4.4 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2, 64-bit -- Karthik -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
