Hi,

My database cluster have one database with one table. (if we don't
count template0 and 1.

My table has 3 collumns, 2 ints and a bytea. 2.5M rows and it consumes
150G diskspace. I have a unique index on the 2 ints.

I did a TRUNCATE on the table, and a VACUUM FULL.

But PostgreSQL-7.2.3 did not return the space to the filesystem. (ext3
on linux)
