Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Autovacuum runs with default setting, I believe it's daily, or whenever it feels like.

When autovacuum was disabled, we had this problem once every 2 months.

With autovacuum enabled, we had this problem once in every six month. It seems autovacuum could only delay the event, but not prevent it.

It's kind of a problem as it requires 2hrs downtime and we want to avoid that. What we are doing now is moving to Postgres 9.1 as a desperate measure, but we would like to understand better the root cause of the problem.

The usual solution is to run autovacuum *more* frequently, not less. It's not perfectly clear, but you say "after enabling autovacuum every 6 months". If that's the case, then it's much too long. autovacuum should be running hourly, if not more often.

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server#autovacuum_max_fsm_pages.2C_max_fsm_relations talks about running more frequently.

Hope that helps!
