Hello,
we have suffered from BUG #17485, so we have upgraded our databases to 14.4.
When (on 14.3 we discovered the issue all affected indexes were rebuilt [not concurrently]), so subsequent pg_amcheck --heapallindexed was without errors or warnings.
After the upgrade to 14.4, we run pg_amcheck --heapallindexed again to ensure all indexes are in a good shape, and on some databases, pg_amcheck yields some messages (supposed to be wanings since pg_amcheck exit code was zero).
On some tables, running vacuum freeze resolved all of the warning messages, but we have at least one table where vacuum freeze (have no chance to run vacuum full to completely rewrite the table) did not resolve the warnings.

The table relfrozenxid is less than the tuple xmin reported by pg_amcheck, that makes me confused by the pg_amcheck messages - so probably I did not understand the warning message properly.
What is the meaning of the warning (if they are really only warnings) message?
The key question is - are these pg_amcheck messages listed above a reason to take an remedy action (if yes, what is the suggested action?) or they can be safely ignored?
Thanks Ales Zeleny
