Actually, I was working for a client, so it wasn't a general exploritory, but I can say that early on we discovered that ext3 was about the worst file system for PostgreSQL. We gave up on it and decided to use ext2. I have been considering a full sweep in my test lab off client time later on. ext2, ext3, jfs, xfs, and ReiserFS, fsync on with fdatasync or open_sync, and fsync off. One million inserts with auto commit. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
