I'm running ubuntu and can see references to only one log file which i'm
assuming is the postmaster log..
Anyway the only relevant bits are:
GMT LOG: relation "pg_class" TID 15538/4: dead HOT-updated tuple ---
cannot shrink relation
2009-02-12 21:06:40 GMT STATEMENT: VACUUM FULL VERBOSE ANALYZE pg_class
2009-02-12 21:06:40 GMT WARNING: index "pg_class_relname_nsp_index"
contains 1818 row versions, but table contains 1813 row versions
If that helps...
Thanks
