Hi,

I did a search in the discussion lists and found several
pointers about setting the max_fsm_relations and pages.

I have a table that keeps being updated and noticed
that after a few days, the disk usage has growned to
from just over 150 MB to like 2 GB !

I followed the recommendations from the various search
of the archives, changed the max_fsm_relations, pages,
keep doing vacuum like every minute while the
table of interest in being updated. I kept
watching the disk space usage and still noticed that
it continues to increase.

Looks like vacuum has no effect.

I did vacuum tablename and don't intend to use
the full option since it locks the table.

I have 7.3.3 running in Solaris 9.

Any recommendation ?

Thanks.

Gan
