It seems there are certain projects running at the moment that will eventually make possible to run PostgreSQL on FreeBSD's jail (virtual server on plain iron speed).
Pre jail resource limits: http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2010/07/resource-containers-project.html Further generalization improvements: http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2010/06/update-on-jail-based-virtualization.html "Further, the project includes generalization of the virtual network stack framework, factoring out common code. This will provide an infrastructure and will ease virtualization of further subsystems like SYSV/Posix IPC with minimal overhead. All further virtualized subsystems will immediately benefit from shared debugging facilities, an essential feature for early adopters of the new technology." By solving the SYSV/IPC problems, PostgreSQL will be able to be run on jails, even easier and more robustly than it is the case now. Lets hope those guys will deliver smth good. -- Achilleas Mantzios -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
