I realize this is very little info to go on but our server had some
trouble this morning..

We have a cronjob that runs nightly to do the VACUUM FULL ANALYZE on a
few tables in each schema and occasionally we'll cancel one if they take
longer than usual to run and block our morning loads.. This is the first
time Postgres has had any trouble with it. Is cancelling a full vacuum
a bad idea?
I know I'm not going to find any solution to why it happened, I'm just
looking for anyone's take on it..
Thanks,
Joe
