I apologize for the significant delay, here's a link to results to a test with 8.0rc3: http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/236/
These are the same parameters with as run 215, listed below with the but with --enable-debug --enable-cassert. I also ran pg_autovacuum with -d4, where the output can be seen here: http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/236/dbt2.out I, uh, wasn't able to reproduce the previous errors after repairing my filesystems after a power outage. So I figure that might be good news. The performance is up from run 215 with the errors, so I'll continue with trying to tune some of the pg_autovacuum values.
