Re: Vacuum Full not clean the table - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Dear All,

Along with saying hello, I would like to consult about a failure that is happening to me with a PG 9.2 base and with a table that weighs 116GB and its index 13Gb, mounted on a Linux Centos 7.2 with 4Core and 32Ram.
The failure occurs mainly in that I execute a Vacuum Full on the table and it ends after 6 hours, but it does not clean anything. When checking the dead tuples I realize that they follow the same dirty records in the table. REF: (table of 420MM records with 20MM dead tuples)

I hope you can guide me in finding a solution to clean that table.

Greetings and many thanks to the Postgresql.org community
Atte.

Hi Erik,

Does it end cleanly or with an error after 6 hours?

Do you have enough disk space for the vacuum full? The old and the newly written data have to exist at the same time. Only after a successful vacuuming the old data get deleted.

BTW, PG 9.2 has been out of service for quite some time. Only versions 11 to 15 are supported, with the support for version 11 lasting less than a year.

Kind Regards,

Holger
