I don't particularly trust NFS to be either reliable or performant for database use. Do you? And what if you want additional functionality, like sharding or mirroring? ISTM that something built around a custom protocol that mimics exactly what we need from the smgr layer would be a lot easier to set up and a lot easier to be confident in. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
