Just double checking: if I do this, then I need to halve the parameters in postgresql.conf that involve buffers, specifically, max_fsm_pages and shared_buffers. I think max_fsm_pages should be adjusted since the number of pages in the system overall has been halved. Anything else that should be re-tuned for this? My tests are still running so I don't have numbers yet. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
