Hi Everyone,
Just wondering what the maximum reasonable free space map setting should be? I'm receiving the
following advice from vacuum:
INFO: free space map contains 170803 pages in 117 relations
DETAIL: A total of 185000 page slots are in use (including overhead).
733008 page slots are required to track all free space.
Current limits are: 185000 page slots, 5000 relations, using 1623 KB.
NOTICE: number of page slots needed (733008) exceeds max_fsm_pages (185000)
HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter "max_fsm_pages" to a value over 733008.
I thought 185K was pretty high, is going to 700K+ reasonable? I've got 16GB of ram and am running
very high volume 100GB+ DBs.
Cheers
Phil
