Can you try with a Copy command which copies just enough tuples to fill the pages equivalent to HEAP_FSM_EXTENSION_THRESHOLD? It seems to me in such a case patch will try each of the blocks multiple times. It looks quite lame that we have to try again and again the blocks which we have just filled by ourselves but may be that doesn't matter much as the threshold value is small. -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
