I have wal_keep_segments set to 3000. But directory pg_xlog contains
more than 6000 WAL segments. Interesting thing that there are ~ 3000
files dated after Aug 14, so files dated before Aug 14 should not be
exists, I guess. Also these files have an executable bit set.
$ ls -al pg_xlog | grep -A2 -B2 00000001000034DB0000003B
-rwx------ 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Jul 19 07:58 00000001000034DB00000039
-rwx------ 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Jul 19 07:58 00000001000034DB0000003A
-rwx------ 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Jul 19 07:58 00000001000034DB0000003B
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Aug 14 19:17 0000000100003826000000EA
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Aug 14 19:17 0000000100003826000000EB
```
This cluster has no replication slots, archive_mode is enabled but
archive_command is set to /bin/true. I think the new WAL segments are
recycled and total amount is about 6000 but postgres does not delete
the old files for some reason. Any ideas?
