FYI, I *do* have scripts which CLUSTER and(or) VAC FULL (and REINDEX), but they
were disabled due to crash in 12.0 (which was resolved in 12.1) and it wouldn't
have run anyway, since they run after the backup script (which failed) in a
shell with set -e.
I think TRUNCATE does that too..but I don't think that any processes which do
TRUNCATE are running on that server.
Thanks,
