I had the default autovacuum_naptime of 1 minute, and had two Postgresql clusters runing. I turned off autovacuum and these threads disappeared. Still not sure how it comes to twice a minute per cluster. There are 5 databases, and as far as I know, a client connection to one of them, not doing anything, while this was happening. -- Bryan Henderson San Jose, California -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
