I have a lot of wasted bytes in some tables.
Somewhere I read that maybe auto-vacuum can't release space due to a low
max_fsm_pages setting.
I want to increase it, but I don't found the param in the postgres.conf.
This param exists? If not? How can I deal with bloated tables?
I have many tables with lot of insert/updates/delete (aprox. 5,000,000 per
day)
Thanks!

It's no longer there, as fsm was moved from memory (which was limited
by max fsm pages) to disk, which is limited by the size of your disks.
Most likely you aren't vacuuming aggresively enough. Lower
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay and raise autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit,
and possibly raise max threads for vacuum works (forget the name)
