I'd not expect there to be much specific benefit to it... I did some benchmarking, now quite a while ago, which showed XFS to be, for a totally write-bound workload, a *few* percent better than ext3/JFS, but note that this is only a minor difference. The fact that XFS isn't one of the "more highly supported" filesystems on Linux is something I'd consider a *way* more important factor. When balancing "oh, maybe a tiny percentage faster" against "oh, nobody will be in a position to offer much support if anything goes wrong," I'll take "easier to support" any day. -- http://linuxfinances.info/info/linuxdistributions.html Robert Benchley - "Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing." -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
