Unfortunately for you, re-nicing doesn't generally affect a processes I/O rate--it's meant for CPU-bound processes. It might be possible to add code to "throttle" the checkpoint process (similar to what was done for VACUUM) but I don't know for sure... -Doug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
