Ok, if autovacuum doesn't actually lock the tables for this long time
then it's fine. But I started investigating this because the inserts
were hanging and I'm still puzzled why it's active when it shouldn't be :)
In principle you are right, but in this particular case autovacuum gets

Anytime autovacuum is instrusive look at incrementing the nap time to
10 to 20 ms. If that doesn't help then you're already running on the
ragged edge of IO throughput and might need to look into a faster RAID
array or something.

I do believe there are som
The insertion rate is ~250 records / second, quite uniformly spread in
time over ~3000 tables. To reach 2^31 something like 100 days are needed
and the cluster is less than 10 days old. And we do vacuuming :) So as
far as I understand, the wraparound shouldn't happen. In fact before 8.4

Hi,
I'm running 8.4 and I've tried to disable autovacuum since the vacuuming is
taken care internally in the code. The same was true with the previous
version (8.0 to 8.3) and there was never any problem. However now in 8.4 the
"off" setting seems to be ignored even if "track_counts = off" and hug
