Hi Arshavir Grigorian, 0. If possible move to 8.0.1 - bgwriter help you
1. Create RAID1 for redo and place drives on separate SCSI channel 2. Update postgresql.conf: shared_buffers = 10000-50000 work_mem = 100000-300000 maintenance_work_mem = 100000-300000 max_fsm_pages = 1500000 max_fsm_relations = 16000 wal_buffers = 32 checkpoint_segments = 32 # 16MB each !! checkpoint_timeout = 600 checkpoint_warning = 60 effective_cache_size = 128000 random_page_cost = 3 default_statistics_target = 100 log_min_error_statement = warning log_min_duration_statement = 1000 # for logging long SQL 3. If possible migrate from RAID5 to RAID10. 4. Add (if need) 2 new drive for OS and use ALL 20x9GB drive for DB storage. 5. Remove CDROM from work configuration and start use this scsi channel.
