RE: [HACKERS] "CANNOT EXTEND" -

Is this from vacuum or pg_dump?

I'm just wondering if vacuum cannot cope with a table that is >1Gb
(hence in two segments), and when cleaned down, is <1Gb (one segment).

Saying that, why is it saying the tuple is too big? What is creating
that tuple?

Can someone comment on this? It is coming from
./backend/storage/smgr/md.c in mdtruncate(). Is this table very large?
