Hi As far as I understand pg_xlog is the transaction log i.e. the WAL. I have a pg 8.2 which has consumed about 113MB in pg_xlog/, while the cluster is virtually empty. There are a couple of tables in the postgres schema, but they contain no data at the moment. My disk is filling up and I want to purge directories that are larger than need to be. I performed a VACUUM FULL, because I thought that would help, but it did not. I searched the net and the forums here and found only one post about tuning the wal parameters to control the pg_xlog directory size, but when looking at the documentation for that I found nothing that could be used for that Also the base/ directory is 268MB big and still not many tables, is ti possible to purge that directory as well?. I would appreciate some help on what to do. regards thomas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
