I'm curious how this could work... istm its fairly hard to predict a reasonable value for max_fsm_pages before you ever create a single database in your cluster... I could perhaps see this as becoming self tuning with an integrated autovacuum, where autovacuum stores the values needed for this and max_fsm_relations so that upon any restart these values get automatically updated to a reasonable number. Even more ideal would be to not have them require restart at all, but thats yet another level of magic... -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
