Maybe my thinking is just missing something obvious here. But looking at a fresh initdb, I'm seeing a number of files in the data directory for this database that don't have corresponding entries in pg_class. I looked for entries based on relfilenode in pg_class - am I missing some other way we put files in there?
I'm seeing the same on both head and 9.1 as an example, but different oids. I feel I'm either missing something obvious, or we have a problem here? And somehow the first one seems more likely.. The query I ran (yeah, i'm sure it can be written prettier, but this was quick-n-dirty): with t as ( select * from pg_ls_dir('<datadir>/base/1') l(f) where f not in ( select relfilenode::text from pg_class union all select relfilenode::text || '_vm' from pg_class union all select relfilenode::text || '_fsm' from pg_class) ) select f, size, modification from t, pg_stat_file('<datadir>/base/1/' || f) order by 1; Which gives me: f | size | modification -----------------+--------+------------------------ 11809 | 65536 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11809_fsm | 24576 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11809_vm | 8192 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11811 | 16384 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11812 | 32768 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11821 | 344064 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11821_fsm | 24576 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11821_vm | 8192 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11823 | 131072 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11824 | 90112 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11825 | 507904 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11825_fsm | 24576 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11825_vm | 8192 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11827 | 0 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11829 | 8192 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11830 | 73728 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11831 | 196608 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11832 | 65536 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11832_fsm | 24576 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11832_vm | 8192 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11834 | 16384 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 11835 | 32768 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 pg_filenode.map | 512 | 2013-04-01 20:34:45+02 PG_VERSION | 4 | 2013-04-01 20:34:44+02 (24 rows) The filenode map and pg_version obviously make sense, but where are the others from? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
