Hi
If archiver can not save WAL - postgresql will not remove these WAL and pg_wal directory will grow unlimited. And i
thinkyour alter table set tablespace works ok and table was removed from original disk. But was fully copied to WAL and
suchWAL can not be deleted, therefore overall disk space usage is same. So you need repair you archive_command first.
 

regards, Sergei
