I did housekeeping and kept all 4 options checked. It is at 14 hours now and still 0%. I have clustered before and it definitely only took around 2 hours not 10, what is going on, and of course I can't cancel.

Have you defragged your hard drive lately? I've noticed that on a fragmented drive, clustering and caching takes much longer to complete.

I second that problem. I tried housekeeping and it refuses to go further than 0 percent complete. And yes I defrag regularly. i have Vista and gave PT3 administrator rights.

The percentage is misleading - it will stay on 0% until it has finished the first action, and clustering can take a long time so it will stay at zero till that is finished.

Let me repeat what I said. It has been 14 hours and I have clustered before and it only takes 2 hours. And yes i have fragmented.

I was just going to post that I noticed that the percentage meter is misleading
I tried to only update cache and it said 0 % until it suddenly was finished after a while.
14 hours seems way to long, I just finished the rest of the housekeeping without updating cache, it only took me 4 minutes (171k hands)

You can terminate PT3 and restart the housekeeping - it shouldn't take that long..

Why would it work better the second time around. I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen? I agree that it shouldn't. Yet it does. There are many things int PT3 that shouldn't happen, yet they still do.

The same happened to me. I gave up.

Did you try it again? Sometimes something can stick in postgres with the clustering, so try restarting it.
