Re: [Junk released by User action] Re: [Junk released by User action] Re: [External] Postgres Database Disk Usage

Since the underlying filesystem shows the 43GB, try to isolate it to
what file(s) are causing the problem. Assuming you are connected to the
"FVDM" database and all the tables are in one schema, run this query to
identify all the table files.

select c.oid, c.relname, c.reltuples, c.relfilenode, pg_relation_filenode(c.oid), pg_relation_filepath(c.oid) from pg_class c, pg_tables t where c.relname = t.tablename and t.schemaname = 'myschema' order by 1;

Before drilling down to where the database files are, do a du -hs at
$PGDATA directory. Then do it at $PGDATA/base. Then do it at the table
directory level:
$PGDATA/base/ <database filenode> and run "du -hs" on everything there
and see if something stands out.
