Yes, VACUUM helps to solve the problem and the WARNING gone away.

Okay, so now we are on a different problem.

But, the problem is that the VACUUM for the entire database (2.4T) takes over 7 
hours, and it has to run every 15-20 hours (about 300 millions transactions), 
otherwise:
ERROR:  multixact "members" limit exceeded - and server stops working.
The question is how to start the VACUUM at least once in three days.

That is the purpose of autovacuum:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/interactive/routine-vacuuming.html#AUTOVACUUM

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/interactive/runtime-config-autovacuum.html

Which also has a per table feature:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/interactive/sql-createtable.html#SQL-CREATETABLE-STORAGE-PARAMETERS


So how is your autovacuum set up?

Do really need to vacuum the whole database or selected heavily updated table?


Kind regards,

Vladimir Pavlov

Hello,
There is no news?
Now I have to do VACUUM every night, so that the server worked.

So has the WARNING gone away?:

WARNING:  oldest multixact is far in the past
HINT:  Close open transactions with multixacts soon to avoid wraparound 
problems.

Or to put it another way, define worked.

Maybe run VACUUM FREEZE?

Kind regards,

Vladimir Pavlov

There is nothing:

It is also noticed that a lot of files in a directory 
main/pg_multixact/members/, now - 69640.

Can you attach pg_controldata output?
