Hi, On startup we get an error in the postgres log that the Autovacuum process has failed to start -- "autovacuum not started because of misconfiguration". However, if we do a restart (/etc/init/d/postgresql8.1 restart) then the autovacuum starts fine. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be?
