On linux:

Run ps -fu postgres (or SELECT pid, query FROM pg_stat_activity) and
look at: ls -l /proc/PID/fd

writing to XXXXXX.22 means it's written ~22GB.

You can also SELECT relfilenode FROM pg_class WHERE oid='x'::regclass (or
relname='x').

Or try using strace (but beware I've seen its interruption to syscalls change
the behavior of the program being straced).
