When you do a VACUUM FULL, the FSM is made irrelevant because VACUUM FULL takes the time to reclaim all possible space without resorting to _any_ use of the FSM. If you VACUUM FULL, then it's of little value to bother having a free space map because you're obviating the need to use it. In any case, the FSM figures you get out of a VACUUM are only really meaningful if you're moving towards the "equilibrium point" where the FSM is large enough to cope with the growth between VACUUM cycles. VACUUM FULL pushes the system away from equilibrium, thereby making FSM estimates less useful. -- "cbbrowne","@","ca.afilias.info" <http://dev6.int.libertyrms.com/> Christopher Browne (416) 673-4124 (land) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
