I need some help tuning my free space map. I have about 275 GB of db's spread
across 3 DB servers. Unfortunetly, due to design and bandwidth issues, I am
not able to vacuum during business hours, and can only vacuum at night. I am
trying to get my free space map big enough to hold all of the pages needed so
I can do a normal vacuum most nights and not a full. Can someone please help
me understand how to see what I should set my max_fsm_pages and
max_fsm_relations to.
I'm running 7.3.4.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S.
Here is a sample output from my largest table:
