I don't think we can assume checkpoint_completion_target is at all reliable enough to base a maximum calculation on, assuming anything above the maximum is cause of concern and something to inform the admins about. Assuming checkpoint_completion_target is 1 for maximum purposes, how about: max(2 * checkpoint_segments, wal_keep_segments) + 2 * checkpoint_segments + 2 -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
