Yep, that sounds like it. We should have that right in the docs next to that tuning parameter, or somewhere in a separate section on freespace map and point there. Also, this may improve over releases so we need to track the changes in the official release. If we can convey how the free space map works, people will be able to understand how their workload affects it. > Should I change the section name to 'Routine Maintenance'? Well, it isn't something you would play with regularly, like backups. It is more like the disk space analysis section I added in 7.3. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
