Обсуждение: error vacuum full
I use postgres-8.3.5. My database has 168 GB in size. Whenever i try to do vacuum full happens the following error:
WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process
DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command.
vacuumdb: vacuuming of database "acotel_brazil_vas" failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
If i have autovacuum enabled, Do i need to do vacuum full?

You have two problems. One is you're running vacuum full regularly, which you shouldn't need, and which can cause bloated indexes. Normal autovacuum should handle your database fine unless you're deleting a huge part of a table over and over. As to why it's crashing, that's another story. Anything in the system logs about the oom killer kicking in? Have you got work_mem set to something huge? maintenance work mem really huge? shared_buffers, etc? What have you changed from stock in postgresql.conf?
What about your mantainance_mem parameter in postgresql.conf? If it is very high, are you sure do you have free memory enough?
I had a similar problem two weeks ago due to this issue and I had to low effective_cache_size in order to get memory enough for vacuum process.
