Orphan table files at data/base/

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

 



I was an unfortunate sequence of commands (all in single transaction)

DROP TABLE huge;
CREATE TABLE huge AS... (huge PostGIS ST_Union operation);
CREATE INDEX ON huge USING GIST (geometry);

by a well-meaning user, that caused a crash+recovery:

server process (PID 92411) was terminated by signal 9: Killed
terminating any other active server processes
all server processes terminated; reinitializing
database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress

And that left behind 280GB of files (of TABLE huge):
data/base/16384/2403959
...
data/base/16384/2403959.282


SELECT pg_filenode_relation(0,2403959);
-- returns NULL

may I do
sudo rm data/base/2403959*
?
