It always start at around 258 files.
The total WAL volume during the 10min pgbench run as evidenced by enabling an
archive command that just touches the filename is 1,972 WAL files archived, or
31G. So, it is cleaning up or recycling about 9G, unfortunately, that's just
2G too few for a 20G filesystem.
