HUD failing to start/hand imports failing; housekeeping

Postby Tomalak » Sat Sep 09, 2023 8:20 am

Hello,

I have a large database (over 200GB) and suddenly two days ago the HUD stopped loading, or loaded extremely slowly. When I looked at my hand histories it was clearly importing only a very few hands I played. The whole program runs extremely slowly.

I have attempted the steps in Housekeeping but I get an error message when I try tuning PreSQL. The guide suggests this can be skipped if it fails so I went on to Reindexing. It took the best part of a day but I believe it worked, and I also saw my database size drop from about 260GB to 228GB. The problems above were not solved afterwards, though.

After 3.5 hours of Clustering, I just got an error message saying that there was no free space on my drive. My C drive where PT4 is installed has 35GB of free memory and my D drive where PreSQL is installed has 85GB free. Both are solid state drives.

The program has now skipped to Vacuuuming and analysing and I am hopeful this will work.

If it doesn't resolve the issue, can you help me with the Clustering and why this failed? What are my options if this erroneous error message keeps appearing? Reinstall PT4 from scratch and import all my hand histories?

Thanks!
Tomalak

You don't have enough free space. It is ideal to have as much free space as the size of your largest database on the drive where PostgreSQL is installed otherwise some housekeeping functions such as clustering will not be able to complete.
