I tried to restore one of our db backups to 3 different machines today.
After restore, all machines reported larger on-disk size, and also
psql's \l+ confirmed that.
Here is the live machine:
On-disk size: 84 GB
Size reported by psql: 79 GB
Backup machine 1:
On-disk size: 162 GB
Size reported by psql: 177 GB
Backup machine 2:
On-disk size: 179 GB
Size reported by psql: 177 GB
I have seen the opposite of this tons of times before, but I haven't
seen an increase after restore before. Does anyone know what may cause
this? Where should I look at?
Regards,
