Thanks Scott. Could be my I/O as I am on 15k Raptor SATA drives with RAID 1 only. Anyway, reindexing happened fast (12 minutes) and things are now humming along. How long should cluster take on a db that's about 5.5GB in size? Is it worth doing on a production db? The db is running fast now anyway, so the only reason I am even thinking about this is because of the results of a VACUUM ANALYZE, which give me this: --- INFO: "links": found 5427 removable, 8876599 nonremovable row versions in 483102 pages DETAIL: 96 dead row versions cannot be removed yet. There were 2135991 unused item pointers. 235 pages contain useful free space. --- My semi-intelligent question: in the output above, that figure of "483,102" pages. Should this in any way affect my setting for max_fsm_pages variable in pg.conf? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
