I don't know why i don't get it. I am in 9.1 version...

Moreover, when I mount pg_stat_tmp in a tmpfs, the warning messages decrease  the warning messages decrease from 1 each minutes to 1 each five secondes. I don't have any others logs warning but the file pg_stat.stat in the mounting point is not created... I tryed before on a test environment and it works...

If you have any ideas...
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Math

Those temporary statistics are stored in global directory when server shuts down, so the risk here would be to lose a portion of this data in the case of a crash, either at PG or at OS level.
 
If we change the parameter stats_temp_directory is it necessary to reboot the server ?
No, sending SIGHUP to the server is enough.
 
When I lauch a SHOW ALL; command, the parameter stats_temp_director is not here.
You should get it...
