I'm logging checkpoints to see how the background writter is working, and I bumped into log information that I don't fully understand: LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 5015 buffers (15.1%); 0 transaction log file(s) added, 0 removed, 15 recycled; write=1004.333 s, sync=0.106 s, total=1004.571 s 5015 are the WAL buffers written to the transaction log, but what is the 15.1%? Also, what do the times at the end mean? Time to write the buffers to the transaction log, or to flush modificactions stored in the transaction logs to there final destination in the data base files? -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
