Greetings,

As you may be aware, we experienced a problem last week with pg_clogs that had been deleted, through human error it appears. What process will clear or delete the pg_clogs? I've been all over the documentation and I'm not finding a reference to this.

PostgreSQL takes care of this itself. I don't know where it is documented but IIRC from old messages, the number of files in pg_xlog should level out at about two-times your checkpoint_settings value.

I'd have to do some digging as I don't recall for sure, but I think that if you are using archive_command setting to archive WAL files the archive command does not return "success", then the WAL file will not be removed/reused.

Cheers,
Steve
