pg_multixact issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Our pg_multixact directory keeps growing.  I did a "vacuum freeze” which didn’t help.  I also did a "vacuum full” which didn’t help either.
We had this condition with 9.3.4 as well.  When I upgraded our cluster to 9.4.5 (via plain sql dump and load) as expected the issue was resolved but now it’s happening again.  Luckily it has no ill effect other than consuming 4G of space for an otherwise 1G database.

Can you offer any hints as to how I can cure this?

thanks,
Kiriakos Georgiou
