Hi to all, After upgrading to 7.1, I have noticed that when doing a vacuum, the postmaster usually crashes. Noticed also that the available space is 0 bytes free. The pg_xlog directory then contains a large number fo WAL-files. Tables size are about 7GB for a total database size of over 50GB. Question is why do the WAL-files increase during the VACUUM ? I normally have aroung 15GB free space on the drive, so even if a table is re-copied, there should still be space ? Does not vacuum commit after each table, or does it commit after the whole operation ? If so, is it possible to make vacuum commit after each table (without doing it manually by vacuuming one table at a time) ? I'm currently upgrading to 7.1.2, maybe the bug has been fixed in this version.
