One more question, If I understood Vacuum Full it's similar to Defrag Tool like Defrag Windows. So, like defraging Windows, it's speed up a little (the disc is going to read the blocks faster) , Vacuuming Full Postgres should have the same behavior?!
The fsm_pages values incresead from 120000 to 320000, and now is around that every day.
On more question, the postgres.conf max_fsm_pages is set to 150000, and every vacuum hint me to increase this parameter. Does it have any impact in the normal operation of Postgres?
No, I'm not running autovacuum in the 8.1, but in the 8.3 I'm going to autovacuum by default.On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 10:04 AM, Rafael DomicianoGenerally speaking, vacuum full should not normally be needed.

Regular vacuuming should free up enough free space that the table
reaches an equilibrium where it has some small percentage of available
space (5 to 15% or so) and stay there.

If the needed fsm settings need to keep increasing then something is wrong.

Yeah, 8.3 is faster.

I notice you don't mention autovacuum. Are you running it? And if
not, why not?
