Re: terminating autovacuum process due to administrator command

Thanks for response,

How were the connections refused (error message)?
2012-06-13 13:45:38.809 MDT [25172]: [1-1] FATAL: remaining connection
slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections
2012-06-13 13:45:38.889 MDT [25173]: [1-1] FATAL: remaining connection
slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections
2012-06-13 13:45:38.895 MDT [25174]: [1-1] FATAL: remaining connection
slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections

Could it be that there are already max_connections sessions? max_connection
was set to 600, when issue occurred the db server had 85 connection and
server was under medium load.

Server details:
We're running postgres 9.1.1 linux x64 centos 5.8

aspdata=# select version();
version
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 9.1.1 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.1.2
20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52), 64-bit

We currently have 1 DB we use for multiple independent tenant schemas. The
database size is current 56227005240 bytes as reported by pg_database_size.
There are 557 schemas each with about 1300 objects (760 tables 520 views).
