i have a big table - about 450GB each of data and index use.

i keep getting a hint saying the database needs a vacuum:
WARNING: database "postgres" must be vacuumed within 10970738 transactions
HINT: To avoid a database shutdown, execute a full-database VACUUM in
"postgres".

however when i run the vacuum i always get this error when it vacuums the
big table:

INFO: vacuuming "public.monthly_res_01"

ERROR: could not read block 43775860 of relation 1663/11511/24873: read
only 4096 of 8192 bytes

ERROR: could not read block 43775860 of relation 1663/11511/24873: read
only 4096 of 8192 bytes

do you know the process i should follow to diagnose and repair?
