AFAIK you don't want the overhead of journalling for the WAL partition.

I'm curious as to why ext3 for data with journalling disabled?  Would
that not be the same as ext2?

I believe Alvaro was referring to ext3 with journalling enabled
for meta-data, but not for data.
I also believe this is the standard ext3 configuration, but I
could be wrong on that.

gnari


it doesn't really belong here but ext3 has
data journaled (data and meta data)
ordered (meta data journald but data written before meta data (default))
journald (meta data only journal)
modes.

The performance differences between ordered and meta data only journaling should be very small enyway
