Questions on pg_xlog:

1. what parameter tells postgress to always keep 7 files in the pg_xlog
directory? (see below) --this is test database we
are learning on. (and it seems everytime that I look at this directory there
are always 7 entries there)

2. What happens when the files increment and can no longer increment to a
higher number (the file name)?

3. Is there a way to "reset" the number so that this won't happen?
