No idea, I inherited this machine. But like Tom said, spclocation being
wrong is apparently harmless.

Other then you cannot DROP the tablespace:) This will probably
needed to be resolved for the reasons that came up in this thread:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAAW2xfeA1mPw4RW3-4LUTW+y4ruQFPT5Bx4c3DKUb01f4ejabw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

it is a very long thread so you might to take a look at this:

What happens if you change spclocation to the correct location?

The suggestion makes perfect sense, but sadly there's no difference:

% sudo -H -u postgres psql template1 -c "update pg_tablespace set spclocation = '/media/ssd/archive2/postgresql' where spcname = 'archive2';"
UPDATE 1
% sudo -H -u postgres psql template1 -c "drop tablespace archive2;"
ERROR:  tablespace "archive2" is not empty

I guess UTSL would be my remaining recourse, but I was hoping someone
who already knows that code path offhand could put me at ease :)

This database(cluster) has been running without any issues related to not finding archive2 tablespace objects, correct?

The following found nothing in pg_class that is using the tablespace:


mydb=> select oid, * from pg_tablespace where spcname = 'archive2';
   oid   | spcname  | spcowner |     spclocation      | spcacl | spcoptions
---------+----------+----------+----------------------+--------+------------

 7849107 | archive2 |       10 | /media/archive2/psql |        |

mydb=> select * from pg_class where reltablespace = 7849107;
(0 rows)


It seems at a practical level the tablespace does not exist from the view point of the database. Assuming you have had no tablespace issues to date, I would be inclined to go the manual route. As always backup before proceeding. By manual, I mean mv the files in:

/media/ssd/archive2/postgresql/PG_9.1_201105231/117264/

to somewhere else, then try to DROP the tablespace.
