DISK space issue

[DCIM_Support]

Hi.

Today I have an issue with a DCO 8.1 installation. Disk space finished and system halt. I see that there are some many file in pg_xlog (each file occupy 16 Mega Byte) and I see in a forum that postgree must automatically remove the old (I see file old tha three month so I manually remove it, it is the only way to retrive space) . I removed all file until 31/05 and now system work again, but I cannot reach the DCO web page, system return me 404 Error. 

There are some other operation that I can do? There is a way to reduce this file creation I see that after re-starting when system is restored at 11.00 there are 5 file of 16MB each has been created.

Regards.

Hi Davide,

Manually deleting the system/database files should be avoided, you might risk loosing the data. I would basically suggest the following option, that may give you a reliable setup:

1- Save the current backup files (usually located in the folder /data/backup) somewhere safe (such as network drive)

2- Make a clean/fresh installation (at least 100 GB disc space would be recommended, see System requirements)

3- and then restore the latest completed backup file.

(note: due to disk space issue, some of the latest backup file(s) might be incomplete - check the file size, incomplete backups might be smaller in size).

Kind regards
