Re: vacuum taking an unusually long time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



None of these values have changed recently.

The values are:

vacuum_cost_delay = 10ms
vacuum_cost_limit = 200

Are there any other values I should be looking at?

The longest running vacuum has been running more than 6 days at this point.

Thanks,
Mason

Have you adjusted your vacuum / autovacuum cost parameters up?  that
will certainly slow down vacuums.
