Hello, Had a DB that had bloated due to lots of updates and insuffcient auto vacuum settings. Attempted the following in the following order:
VACUUM VERBOSE full tablename; CLUSTER tablename; Did the full first to ensure that the cluster had enough space to run. The db had already been previously clustered to an index. At some point during the VACUUM I started seeing the following errors in the logs: CONTEXT: writing block 12125253 of relation base/2651908/652397108 WARNING: could not write block 12125253 of base/2651908/652397108 DETAIL: Multiple failures --- write error might be permanent. Also seeing the same error for block 12125253, 2978. And the cluster failed as well. I have attempted a check point using pg_start_backup() and that failed as well. The system is still running and I have yet to shut it down. I am hoping to find out what possibilities I have if any to recover from this. Also how do I avoid this in the future? -Ken
