Description Richard Neill 2012-03-14 01:04:23 CET 
[This is a very minor "cosmetic" bug]


Description of problem:

The file:
  /usr/share/doc/postgresql9.1-server/postgresql.Mageia.releasenote

contains a message about pg_autovacuum:

 "- pg_autovacuum
    pg_autovacuum is a daemon which monitor database and run vacuum and analyze
    when needed. Introduced as a postgresql contrib in version 8.0, mandriva
    rpm was providing an initscript to start the daemon at boot.
    This feature is now included into the backend itself, it is disabled by
    default. Set autovacuum parameter to true into postgresql.conf"


saying that autovacuum defaults to off. Actually, it now defaults to on.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Hello Richard Neill,

To be explicit, you wanna change this paragraph :
"This feature is now included into the backend itself, it is disabled by
    default. Set autovacuum parameter to true into postgresql.conf"


by 


"This feature is now included into the backend itself, it is enabled by
    default. Set autovacuum parameter to true into postgresql.conf"

Is it correct ?

Comment 4 Richard Neill 2013-07-23 22:41:54 CEST 
I think you could simply delete the paragraph. The default database settings are now sensible.

However, if you want to edit it for Postgresql9.2, this would be better:

"pg_autovacuum is a daemon which monitors the database and runs vacuum and analyze when needed. This feature is now included into the backend itself, and is enabled, with sensible options, by default. (It can be configured by adjusting the autovacuum_xxx parameters in postgresql.conf)."
Comment 5 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-17 21:07:10 CEST 
Is this bug still present in Mageia 4 & 5?

five months later, no reply

Closing as OLD

Please reopen if this is still an issue in current cauldron and/or Mga5, and give details.
