The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 13974
Logged by: Andreas Papst
Email address: andreas.papst@univie.ac.at
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.6
Operating system: Debian
Description:

Hey,

I'm pretty sure, it works as intended, but maybe it is useful to other
postgres users too to have stated in the description of

temp_file_limit

that this value effects vacuum runs too:

vacuumdb: vacuuming of database "test" failed: ERROR: temporary file
size exceeds temp_file_limit (2097152kB)

Just my 2 ct.

Thank you
Andreas

This seems like a bug to me.

I don't know what vacuum would be doing that would involve creating
temp files at all. Seems like we need more information here.
