Thanks for the feedback. How about I replace the grammatically poor: LOG: max_fsm_relations(%d) is equal than the number of relations vacuum checked (%d)", HINT: You probably have more than %d relations. You should increase max_fsm_relations. Pages needed for max_fsm_pages may have been underestimated. with this: LOG: max_fsm_relations(100) equals the number of relations checked HINT: You have >= 100 relations. You should increase max_fsm_relations. and replace this: LOG: max_fsm_pages(%d) is smaller than the actual number of page slots needed(%.0f)", HINT: You may want to increase max_fsm_pages to be larger than %.0f" with the slightly smaller LOG: the number of page slots needed (2832) exceeds max_fsm_pages (1601) HINT: You may want to increase max_fsm_pages to a value over 2832.
