Hi,
If I don't remove the orphaned files, is there any change that Postgres cou=
ld use the same file node (oid) again?
For example, say file node 2602351127 doesn't exist anywhere in pg_class, c=
ould Postgres use that same file node id again?
What would happen in that case?
Thanks,
Jamie

The general rule is usually the following if you do not want to corrupt you=
r system: do not mess up manually with those files and let the system manag=
e it. Be sure to at least take file-level backup if you go down this danger=
ous road.
