Effective IO Concurrency

Hi!

In PostgreSQL 13, the way of using effective_io_concurrency has changed. Until v12, I used 200 for this value (using SSD drives). Using the new formula described in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/release-13.html gives me 1176. However, in the documentation https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-EFFECTIVE-IO-CONCURRENCY it says that the maximum value allowed is 1000.

Then use the value 1000...

I think he means that the formula should take that into account.

Exactly....

For future reference, and maybe a updated documentation:

SELECT least(round(sum(OLD / n::float)),1000) FROM generate_series(1, OLD) s(n)

I don't know how to write patches, so maybe someone can do that.

Thanks.
