10.The issue is that wal files are not recycling at all. Please note that its a qa server and the load is quite high on
it.It is running in no archive mode with fsync on, max_wal_size is 8GB with checkpoint_timeout of 5mins and default
checkpoint_completion_targetof 0.5. Could you please give me some pointers what could be wrong, if it is hardware that
isproblem here, how can I collect some facts about it so that 8 can take this matter with system guys.

help!

You say you have no *active* replication slots - does that imply you
have at least one *inactive* replication slot? If so, that will cause
WAL files to be retained indefinitely.
