I just started logging postgresql. In the log are these entries:
   478 LOG:  transaction ID wrap limit is 1110972072, limited by database "cswe2"
   479 LOG:  transaction ID wrap limit is 1110972072, limited by database "cswe2"
   480 NOTICE:  number of page slots needed (27072) exceeds max_fsm_pages (20000)
   481 HINT:  Consider increasing the configuration parameter "max_fsm_pages" to a value over 27072.

Can someone explain what it is and what I need to do to fix it?
I searched online and found references to performing a vacuum on the databases. That is already being done on a nightly basis prior to the backup.

thanks




Marc

Don't worry about the xaction wraparound.  that's just a notice.

You need to consider increasing the configuration parameter
"max_fsm_pages" to a value over 27072.

The configuration parameters are found in postgresql.conf, which can
be in various places depending on your OS.  Then restart postgresql.
