Re: strange 'vacuum verbose analyze' behaviour

Tom,

After almost 20 hours running vacuum I see postmaster grew a little bit:  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU
%MEM   TIME+  COMMAND 
 
20458 postgres  15   0 2136m 553m 204m D 33.2 54.7 198:18.36 postmaster

It's strange that I see no output since starting 
vacuumdb -v -z -f wsdb > vacuum-wsdb.log 2>&1&

-rw-r--r--    1 postgres postgres    48784 Jan 28 15:03 vacuum-wsdb.log

Is there something I could do ?
    Oleg
