This is a good idea for a WAL partition, but is NOT a good idea for the database. You pay want to look into setting segmap_percent to 70% or something. On Solaris 10 at least, the OS by default only uses 10% of memory for disk buffers. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
