You get those words if you do a generic "vacuum verbose", not a specific "vacuum verbose MYTABLE". In hindsight, the conf variable is for the entire database, so it makes sense to do a generic one! Here is my output: [---------- INFO: free space map contains 76059 pages in 32 relations DETAIL: A total of 136688 page slots are in use (including overhead). 136688 page slots are required to track all free space. Current limits are: 150000 page slots, 200 relations, using 893 kB. VACUUM Time: 202065.807 ms ----------] Now, will this value of "136688" keep incrementing, or will autovacuum keep it in check? I have increased my max_fsm_pages to 150,000 as you can see. Thanks for the "Monitoring Stats" link. Looks like pgsql is a bit more involved. I was looking for information that would allow me to set my "max_connections" well. The command you gave only shows currently active users, not the historic peak of connections for instance. I'll keep digging tha manual but would love any nudges in the right direction, thanks! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
