Hi, What are all the controlling factors/measures that one should consider/take into account, when there is an unexpected growth in disk space usage of the database? Some of the factors that comes to my mind immediately are: 1) Running autovacuum daemon aggressively 2) Setting/tuning appropriate value for the parameters "max_fsm_pages" and "max_fsm_relations" Is there any other factors that I need to consider apart from the above? Hope experts can help me in the right direction.
