Re: Setting max_fsm_pages

Thank you for your response Tom.

Should I set the max_fsm_pages to the "total pages needed" obtained from a
full vacuum or from a analize vacuum?  When I run a vacuum analyze (vacuumdb
-z -v), I get a smaller number of pages needed than when I run a full vacuum
with analyze (vacuumdb -f -z -v)

Total pages needed ... if not more.
