Thanks for looking into this patch, I just downloaded the patch and
applied same to the latest code, I can see file "

Yeah, I wasn't getting that at all, though I did see the shared
library being loaded. If I get a chance I'll try it again.
Hope u added the following to the conf file:
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_autoprewarm' # (change requires restart)
Therein lied my problem: I was preloading pg_prewarm, not pg_autoprewarm.
I think the two need to be integrated much better than they are right
now. They should certainly be in the same .so, and as others have
mentioned the docs need to be fixed. For consistency, I think the name
should just be pg_prewarm, as well as the prefix for the GUC.
Based on that and other feedback I'm going to mark this as returned with
feedback, though if you're able to get a revised patch in the next few
days please do.
FYI (and this is just a suggestion), for testing purposes, it might also
be handy to allow manual dump and load via functions, with the load
function giving you the option to forcibly load (instead of doing
nothing if there are no buffers on the free list). It would also be
handy of those functions accepted a different filename. That way you
could reset shared_buffers to a known condition before running a test.
