It was necessary at the time. The actual 1 second value was completely random - it fixed all the issues on my test VM at the time. I don't recall exactly the details, but I do recall having to run a lot of tests before I managed to provoke an error, and that with the 1 sec thing i could run it for a day of repeated restarts without any errors. //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
