Yes - severe bloat on this toast table is quite true. I'm trying to get things righted.
A bit more info:
* autovacuum was on, runtime was weeks...
* maintenace_work_mem is higher than 1G
* there is a huge amount of mutation & updates
* ballpark is 500M rows
* after 'looping' on the vacuum of this toast, i see:
relname | n_live_tup | n_dead_tup
----------------+------------+------------
pg_toast_17283 | 173145066 | 2461775286
Main question now: is there actually new work getting done when it repeats? ie. am i making progress?
thanks in advance!
