Reclaiming space for dropped database

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

 



Hi all,

Our current development database server is running a bit low on diskspace, 
so I dropped an old but rather large database with the intention of 
claiming back some space. However, the space remains claimed.

This server was upgraded from PG10 to PG11 using pg_upgrade's --link 
option.

I see this after having dropped the (300+GB) database:
-bash-4.2$ du -d 1 -h
4.0K    ./.cache
0       ./.config
4.0K    ./9.6
376G    ./10
72G     ./11
447G    .

The files of that database apparently still exist within the ./10 
directory:
-bash-4.2$ du -d 1 -h ./10/data/
4.1G    ./10/data/pg_wal
816K    ./10/data/global
0       ./10/data/pg_commit_ts
0       ./10/data/pg_dynshmem
8.0K    ./10/data/pg_notify
0       ./10/data/pg_serial
0       ./10/data/pg_snapshots
208K    ./10/data/pg_subtrans
0       ./10/data/pg_twophase
16K     ./10/data/pg_multixact
372G    ./10/data/base
0       ./10/data/pg_replslot
0       ./10/data/pg_tblspc
3.5M    ./10/data/pg_stat
0       ./10/data/pg_stat_tmp
4.0K    ./10/data/pg_logical
96K     ./10/data/log
688K    ./10/data/pg_xact
376G    ./10/data/


How do I reclaim that space?

Regards,
Alban Hertroys
