David,
> For 0.5 you get 2/3rds consumption: ( n / ( 1 + 0.5 ) ) = n * 2/3
Exactly, for checkpoint_completion_target=0.5 the distance between
checkpoints is 2/3 of max_wal_size.
But back to the documentation of max_wal_size.
"Maximum size to let the WAL grow to between automatic WAL checkpoints."
For me it looks like the distance between checkpoints is equal to
max_wal_size.
English is not my native language, so I admit that I misunderstand the
exact meaning of this phrase.
P.S. Sorry to post this topic twice.
