Are they larger than before, as indicated by psql's \di+ or similar? Did you notice that this happened immediately, or did it take a while? Are these unique indexes or not? Do you have a workload with many UPDATEs? I ask all these questions because I think it's possible that this is explained by a regression in 9.5's handling of index bloat, described here: http://postgr.es/m/CAH2-Wz=SfAKVMv1x9Jh19EJ8am8TZn9f-yECipS9HrrRqSswnA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
