Linux Postgres Database excluded directories still being scanned

We have a linux database, running postgres, that has excluded directories configured but these 'excluded' directories are still being scanned. This is causing major performance issues, hence the reason the directory was excluded, has anyone else experienced issues like this?

Directories excluded:

/mnt/DATA2/pg

/mnt/DATA2/pgsql

What we're seeing in the logs:

talpa-deny: Error occurred while closing /mnt/DATA2/pgsql/data/cmp_tbs2/PG_9.1_201105231/16842/462530461 on behalf of process postgres[567/567] owned by 26(26)/26(26) <49>

Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Hello InternationalPossumBrotherhood,

    I haven't tested it (Season's laziness) but Appendix chapter 17.2.1 in the configuration guide suggests you need a trailing slash (/mnt/DATA2/pgsql/) if you mean directory (and its subdirectories) - actually coherent 'cause you need a means to differentiate between a file and a directory.
