Yes, both when I just tried to restart the recovery:

So yes, I believe this is entirely repeatable.

1663 = pg_default tablespace
16386 = adecndb, the only database (aside from postgres, template1 & 0
on this backend).

SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE relfilenode = 236356665; -- got nothing

But this is on the production database where a vacuum has already succeeded.

> What filesystem is this database sitting on?

FreeBSD 6.2 ufs. Here are the options from /etc/fstab.

/dev/da1                /xraid          ufs     rw,noatime      2       2

Monitoring is using df to determine space available and runs every 5
minutes. It will alarm at 70% usage and critical at 80% usage. We
received no alarms or other notifications. We do not yet have tracking
in place to story the history of this, so I can't say definitively
that we didn't spike over that usage level. However we are only at 18%
currently, so it seems unlikely. Nothing else uses this disk.

I checked /etc/rc.conf and did not find quotas turned on. Neither are
they enabled in the fstab. I confirmed using
quota -v pgsql
It says "none".
