Hi All! First time I see that the sum of written buffers: 3765929+878326121 = 882092050 = select pg_size_pretty(882092050::numeric*8192) = 6730 GB is bigger than buffers_alloc value in pg_stat_bgwriter view: buffers_alloc | 20426161 = 156 GB buffers_checkpoint | 878599316 buffers_clean | 0 maxwritten_clean | 0 buffers_backend | 3766409 buffers_backend_fsync | 0 buffers_alloc | 20426161 It's kinda mysterious... Any explanations? Does it mean that the same buffers were written over and over again? -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-general-f1843780.html
