You're in error to assume that the creation times are always matched to the file names. What is actually happening here is that the 00013 file is the latest in actual use, and the ones that are named numerically higher are available to use but haven't yet been written into. Their mod times correspond to when they were last written into under their former names as prior segments. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
