So, I set it to 3366499. I came up with this number by:
select sum(relpages) from pg_class where relkind in ('r','t');
and adding that up for all the DBs (there is just the one plus postgres and
template1 and now I get th efollowing, so it appears this was actually a good
settings.
CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec.
INFO: free space map contains 3339998 pages in 125 relations
DETAIL: A total of 3341600 page slots are in use (including overhead).
3341600 page slots are required to track all free space.
Current limits are: 3366499 page slots, 2000 relations, using 19853 KB.
