I've been running Postgresql 7.4.1 for a couple weeks after upgrading from 7.2. I noticed today that the postmaster had been using 99% of the dual CPUs (on a PowerEdge 2650) non-stop for the last couple days. I stopped all the clients, and it didn't abate---even with no connections---so I restarted the postmaster. Now everything is running smoothly again.
Is there anything that might accumulate after two weeks that might cause postgresql to thrash? I'm running pg_autovacuum, so the database itself should be nice and clean. It isn't connections, because I restarted the clients a few times without success. I've been running a long time on 7.2 with essentially the same configuration (minus pg_autovacuum) without any problems.... Thanks for any help, -Mike ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
