Uh. What I meant was a single *IDE* disk. Sorry. Been too deep into helping ppl with IDE disks lately to remember that SCSI can be a lot faster :-) And we're talking about restore of a dump, so it's a single session. (Strictly, that shuld be a 7200rpm IDE disk. I don't know if any others are common, though) //mha ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
