So far using dd I am seeing around 264MB/s on ext3, 335MB/s on ext2 write speed. So the question becomes what is the best filesystem for this drive?
until the current mess with ext3 and fsync gets resolved, i would say it would probably be a bad choice. I consider ext4 too new, so I would say XFS or ext2 (depending on if you need the journal or not)
for the WAL you definantly don't need the journal, for the data I'm not sure. I believe that postgres does appropriate fsync calls so is safe on a non-journaling filesystem. the fusionIO devices are small enough that a fsync on them does not take that long, so it may not be worth the overhead of the journaling.

Anyone want me to run anything on it ? Dave
