I have some file in my database directories that I can not find an purpose
to.

What I have been doing is trying to relate each file in my <db
path>/base/<oid>/ to the actual name (ie tablea, indexb, etc...), and I
have ran into files that are not in the pg_class table. I am not sure where
else to look for the purpose of these files. Can anyone give me some
suggestions? Files appear to be oids in name, and some of them are split
into multiple files (i.e.2109357800, 2109357800.1, 2109357800.2,
2109357800.3, 2109357800.4).

Thanks for any help,

Chris
