Hi all,
I have installed postgresql(8.1.4) data dir on a partition (/data) which rests
on a separate disk from OS disk. The install dir is default (usr/local/pgsql).
Now when i use use pgbench with scaling factor of 1000 it creates a whooping 15
GB database. but i see /var partition used space
ls -l /
maybe /data is a symlink?

I bet you're running a default installation of postgres which has it's
data in /var.
Check your real data directory by running 'ps auxww|grep post', and see
what's after the '-D' parameter... and then when you figure out that the
startup script is

nope! i have purposefully deselected postgres 7.4 installation at OS install.
then downloaded postgresql sources of 8.1.4 and installed it in
/usr/local/pgsql with data dir as /data/pgdata. later , i have set PGDATA to
/data/pgdata in startup script from contrib/scripts of sources
Maybe you switched full statement logging on in postgresql.conf? This can
result in a considerable amount of logfile data in /var/log/somewhere, often
/var/log/postgresql/ (although 15 GB is really quite a lot).

/var/lib/rpm/RpmPackages
/var/lib/rpm/Filemd5s

Unless you're using tablespaces, the server will definitely not write
anywhere outside its assigned data directory. Are you sure that the
growth in /var is related at all? Maybe something spewing messages
to syslog?

1. Try a smaller size and see if you get lots of files at say 5000k.
2. Try something else to
