Failed CLUSTER due to insufficient disk space seems to leave temporary files
behind at least on 7.4.7.

I used the following perl script to determine if there is files which do not
have corresponding entry in pg_class and timestamps of these files matched
with failed CLUSTER attempts.

Is it safe to remove these files manually?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=foo", "postgres", "") or die;

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE relfilenode = ?") or die;

foreach(<*>) {
    if(/^\d+$/) {
    $sth->execute($_);
    my ($result) = $sth->fetchrow_array;
    if (! $result) {
        print "$_\n";
        foreach(<$_.*>) {
        print "$_\n";
        }
    }
    }
}
