Received the database with huge pg_multixact directory of size 21G and
there are ~82,000 files in "pg_multixact/members" and 202 files in
"pg_multixact/offsets" directory.

Did run "vacuum full" on this database and it was successful. However now
am not sure about pg_multixact directory. truncating this directory except
0000 file results into database start up issues, of course this is not
correct way of truncating.
FATAL: could not access status of transaction 13224692

Stumped ! Please provide some comments on how to truncate pg_multixact
files and if there is any impact because of these files on database
performance.

Regards...
