I have a postgres 8.1 database running under FC4 x86_64. While I was
clustering a table, the machine died (kernel/hardware issue). When I
restarted the machine, the space used by postgres during the cluster
operation was still in use. I would like to release this space and reissue
the cluster. Figuring that a vacuum may release the space, I started a
"vacuum verbose" on the database a couple of days ago. It produced a few
messages shortly after starting the vacuum but there are no new progress
messages for over two days and I am becoming impatient. The postgres vacuum
process is currently pinned at 80%. I am wondering if the vacuum is still
occurring or is it stalled? How far along is it? Is there another way of
releasing this space short of doing a dump+restore. Here are the messages
generated thus far by postgres:
