Note that that email is more than 5 years old. A lot has happened in the linux kernel since then. It's perfectly possible to run PostgreSQL reliable on NFS. But it's quite hard to set all the parameters correct to get both decent performance and some sort of reliability. And it's very easy to get it wrong, and end up with data corruption. If you don't know exactly what to do there, I would definitely advice you not to try it. And don't even consider it without a high-end dedicated filer as the backend. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
