Hello, Recently we noticed this autovacuum process running on one of our db servers, which is running pg 8.2.3. 2273 ? Ds 0:00 postgres: autovacuum process fy2006outcomesdb4091 Autovacuum is off in this machine's config. I verified that by connecting via psql and running 'show autovacuum'. Also, pg_autovacuum on this machine has no rows. Has anyone seen this sort of behavior? Is it normal for autovacuuming to start up once in a while even when the configuration does not call for autovacuuming?
