Reposted, I did not see the mail come through... (Lists working ok?) Hi everybody,
I have started testing PostgreSQL on windows. Now that I have managed to import a dump of one of our production databases to postgres on my notebook, there is one issue that came up immediatly after running VACUUM FULL: pgwriter is keeping my disks busy and disturbs me :-(. The more I like pgwriter for a production system, the less I like it on my desktop during developement. So I thought I would just be able to disable this, but that seems not the case. #bgwriter_delay = 200 # 10-5000 milliseconds #bgwriter_percent = 1 # 1-100% of dirty buffers #bgwriter_maxpages = 100 # 1-1000 buffers max at once bgwriter_percent can't be set to 0, neither can bgwriter_maxpages be, nor can I set bgwriter_delay to something like 15 or 30 minutes... For sympathy or pity for developers who are using postgres on a laptop or desktop system, I would suggest that this is classified as a "convenience bug" and fixed in a reasonable way.
