Folks,

Wanted to get clarification on two bits of output from 7.4's VACUUM FULL
VERBOSE:

"Total free space (including removable row versions) is 2932036 bytes."
If the table referenced has no dead row versions, does this indicate open
space on partially full pages?

"There were 33076 unused item pointers."
Is this a count of dead index pointers, or something else?
