Hi,
Starting this morning I have been getting out of memory errors from the
postgres autovacuum process. I have searched through previous similar
questions but not found anything other than suggestions to reduce either
'shared_buffers' or 'maintenance_work_mem' but these seem very instance
specific and would like a better understanding both of the root cause and
solution before making changes to my postgres setup.
We have a single postgres cluster installed from the Debian repository
hosting 36 databases the details of which are below. The table being
vacuumed at the time is about 19GB in size.
