Tom,
I was able to locate a bad reporting program (apparently the pg update to 7.4 caused some mismatched datatypes, i
believe,from the logs.) that was causing this.
I will look into pg_class for the relfilenode 17610 and others to see if i can free up the space already taken up...
Thanks,
Anjan

So, which table or index has relfilenode 17610 (look in pg_class)?
What sorts of operations are you doing on it?

The question is more like how often do you run vacuum. You probably
need more frequent routine vacuumings, larger FSM settings, or a
combination.
