HI Jeff, Thank you for the link to explain FSM however I understand the concept where it would be faster to know where to store data based on an insert or an update but the results of the last few lines of the verbose I still don't get it. Our max_fsm_relations = 1000 and max_fsm_pages=153600 We have auto vacuum running and below is the last few lines from a vacuum verbose statement. Can you explain and do I need to adjust our settings? INFO: free space map contains 51228 pages in 501 relations DETAIL: A total of 57328 page slots are in use (including overhead). 57328 page slots are required to track all free space. Current limits are: 153600 page slots, 1000 relations, using 965 kB.
