recycled transaction log file: too much?

[Hubert Fröhlich]

Hi list,

when doing a large Insert I get in the logfile:

2004-08-03 07:23:46 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000BD"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C2"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C3"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C4"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C5"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C6"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C7"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C8"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C1"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000BE"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000BF"
2004-08-03 07:34:00 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C0"
2004-08-03 07:39:08 LOG: recycled transaction log file "000001BA000000C9"
This seems a bit much?! Should I try with different postgresql.conf wal
settings?

Greetings,

Hubert

Consider increasing wal_files in postgresql.conf, but anything beyond 5 or
10 may be painful, since each WAL file is 16MB in size.
