Hi all,

I've executed a VACUUM FULL on a database 33GB in size. The process was going 
fine until it reached a index (I guess it's an index) and there it stopped for 
more than 30 hours...........the whole weekend......

I've canceled it but I desperately need to free some space at the server's 
disk. I was thinking about using the TRUNCATE statement at the table I know to 
be the largest one. I have some questions though:
Will the TRUNCATE free disk space?Can I run this command and let the openNMS 
software running at the same time? The ONMS product will certainly try to 
execute INCLUDES and such.If the TRUNCATE indeed free disk space, what should I 
do next, reindex, vacuum ??

Also, what else can I do to avoid this kind of problem? Would a REINDEX fix the 
problem and let the VACUUM command finish?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Mario Behring
