Guys, just so you know: OSDL did some testing and found Ext3 to be perhaps the worst FS for PostgreSQL -- although this testing was with the default options. Ext3 involved an almost 40% write performance penalty compared with Ext2, whereas the penalty for ReiserFS and JFS was less than 10%.
This concurs with my personal experience. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
