A good way to see if it's working for you is to let autovacuum run for a few days with your server handling a normal load, and every night at midnight or so send yourself the last 15 or so lines of output from vacuum verbose on your database(s). If it keeps telling you to increase your free space map then either autovacuum isn't aggresive enough, or your usage pattern simply requires a larger FSM to keep things from bloating. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
