Hi Heikki,
Thanks for this patch. Doing bulk copies in parallel for me is now
limited by the IO subsystem rather than the CPU.
This patch, commit number d326d9e8ea1d69, causes fillfactor to be
ignored for the copy command. Is this acceptable collateral damage?
This can be seen by using "pgbench -i -s50 -F50" to create the table
combined with and select
pg_size_pretty(pg_table_size('pgbench_accounts')), or by using the
relation_free_space extension to pageinspect proposed elsewhere.
Thanks,
Jeff
