Thank you for your response Matthew. Currently I run pg_autovacuum with the following scripts. su -l postgres -c "pg_autovacuum -D -U postgres > /dev/null 2>&1"& Do you suggest that I could change it to something like the following: su -l postgres -c "pg_autovacuum -d2 -D -U postgres > /tmp/vacuum.log 2>&1"&
Yes exactly, and if you find that pg_autovacuum is never or not often enough firing off vacuum comands, then you will need to play with the threshold settings. The default thresholds for pg_autovacuum are too conservative for most people, so you may very well have to do this.
