Hey, I'm trying to help a guy that is using pg9.6 but I'm not so familiar with the error message : ERROR: found xmin 16804535 from before relfrozenxid 90126924 CONTEXT: automatic vacuum of table db1.public.table_1"
It seems that the error has started appearing two weeks ago. Data that I collected : -all the autovacuum params are set to default -SELECT relname, age(relfrozenxid) as xid_age, pg_size_pretty(pg_table_size(oid)) as table_size FROM pg_class WHERE relkind = 'r' and pg_table_size(oid) > 1073741824 ORDER BY age(relfrozenxid) DESC LIMIT 4; relname | xid_age | table_size -------------------------------+-----------+------------ table_1 | 180850538 | 10 GB table_2 | 163557812 | 10 GB table_3 | 143732477 | 1270 MB table_4 | 70464685 | 3376 MB pg_controldata : Latest checkpoint's NextXID: 0:270977386 Latest checkpoint's NextOID: 25567991 Latest checkpoint's NextMultiXactId: 1079168 Latest checkpoint's NextMultiOffset: 68355 Latest checkpoint's oldestXID: 77980003 Latest checkpoint's oldestXID's DB: 16403 Latest checkpoint's oldestActiveXID: 0 Latest checkpoint's oldestMultiXid: 1047846 Latest checkpoint's oldestMulti's DB: 16403 Latest checkpoint's oldestCommitTsXid:0 Latest checkpoint's newestCommitTsXid:0 It seems that the autovacuum cant vacuum table_1 and it has alot of dead_tuples. Moreover, it seems that the indexes are bloated. schemaname relname n_tup_upd n_tup_del n_tup_hot_upd n_live_tup n_dead_tup n_mod_since_analyze last_vacuum last_autovacuum last_analyze public table_1 0 5422370 0 382222 109582923 10760701 I tried to vacuum the table (full,freeze) but it didnt help. I read about the wrap that can happen but to be honest I'm not sure that I understood id. What can I do to vacuum the table ? Can some one explain the logic behind the error message ? Thanks.
