autovacuum can be tricky... the way autovacuum behaves on each table
will depend very much on the INSERT/UPDATE profile in that specific
table

so it's not necessarilly a problem if a given table never gets vacuumed;
may be it does not need;

can you be more specific on

a) why do you say that that specific table does not get autovacuumed ?
what makes you say that ?

b) is your filesystem experiencing bloat (bloat means: postgres seems to
start eating up disk space like crazy after some days/weeks/months) ? is
it ?

c) do the logs say things regarding max_fsm_pages ?

d) what version of postgres is it ?

e) have a closer look at the "autovacuum_*" configuration directives...

not an expert here... but these are important topics regarding
autovacuum...

Cheers
Joao
