Perhaps I misunderstand something here.
Autovac demon is configged on and working but was using standard
settings which are commented out in postgresql.conf.
The context field of pg_settings view suggests that the scale factor
values and other autovac settings can be changed with SIGHUP.
Uncommenting the settings in postgresql.conf and giving the new
values, then followed by a pg_reload_conf() call however and I see no
change in the settings.
Also did pg_ctl reload for good measure and nothing changed.
Thanks
