Hmmm, autovac is on by default and it appears I've left most of the default settings in play, but since I don't get any fsm warnings, things seem to be running cleanly. autovacuum_max_workers = 5 # max number of autovacuum subprocesses autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 1000 # min number of row updates before # vacuum autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 2000 # min number of row updates before # analyze in fact there is a vac running right now :) Thanks Scott!
