Hello,
I ran upgrade from 9.1 to 9.3 on CentOS using pg_upgrade and database cluster size dropped from 77GB to 4.3GB. I wonder how this could happen. No data lost. This means I had about 70GB junk files in my database...
I checked top 10 biggest database tables: nearly same size on old/new cluster, the biggest table about 2GB, next 1GB, all other tables smaller and smaller..
I checked files of biggest database (/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/base/27610):
# du -sm * |awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
7107
# du -sm . |sort -n
75264 .
So size of non-hidden database files is 1/10th of the whole database size.
Question: Where does the 70GB hidden files in ...data/base/oid/ come from? Which postgres process could generate them? Some missed maintenance from my side? A bug? Anybody else experienced such issue?
Thanks, Andrej
