I have got a situation where in i see the production system is loaded with the checkpoints and at-least 1000+ buffers are being written for every checkpoint.
1000 buffers isn't very much, that's only 8 MB, so that's not alarming itself.
I am thinking of increasing the checkpoint_segments. Below are our current settings - checkpoint_segments = 8 checkpoint_timeout = 5 mins checkpoint_completion_target = 0.5 bgwriter_delay = 200ms bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 100 bgwriter_lru_multiplier = 2 Looking forward for suggestions.
Yep, increase checkpoint_segments. And you probably want to raise checkpoint_timeout too.
