Hi Steve, 
Apologies, I misread it as 2 billion, it is as you said set as 200 million 
which is the default value for the parameter autovacuum_freeze_max_age. I just 
wanted to confirm whether there would be any impact if I cancel or terminate 
the backend for the existing autovacuum :vacuum table_name (to prevent 
wraparound). I have initiated a normal vacuum manually but it is stuck on the 
table where the autovacuum is processing it. 
Thanks, Rijo Roy

Subject: Re: Extremely slow autovacuum:vacuum to prevent wraparound
 
  
 
No, I have  3 sessions of autovacuum against 3 tables which is doing a Vacuum 
to prevent wraparound as it hit the limit of autovacuum_freeze_max_age of 2 
billion. 
 

I also have a vaccumdb session which is invoked by me on these tables which is 
currently in paused state. So, I want to know whether I can kill the autivacuum 
sessions which is running since 5 days and extremely slow and just run a manual 
vacuum against these tables instead.  
  
 
  
 
Is your autovacuum_freeze_max_age really set to 2 billion? The default value is 
200 million. Setting it that high and disabling autovacuum isn’t just silly - 
it borders on sabotage!
 
I’ve used pg_cancel_backend() (NOT pg_terminate_backend()) on autovacuum jobs 
before without issue.
 
  
 
Good luck!
 
  
 
Steve.
