Thank you for a lot of detailed and useful information :) I'm tempted to ask a related question on SSD endurance... If 60GB is the sweet spot for each DB/WAL partition, and the SSD has spare capacity, for example, I'd budgeted 266GB per DB/WAL. Would it then be better to make a 60GB "sweet spot" sized DB/WALs, and leave the remaining SSD unused, as this would maximise the lifespan of the SSD, and speedup garbage collection? many thanks Jake On 5/29/19 9:56 AM, Mattia Belluco wrote: > On 5/29/19 5:40 AM, Konstantin Shalygin wrote: >> block.db should be 30Gb or 300Gb - anything between is pointless.
