In fact, this would suggest that journaling may even be counterproductive - effectively redundant - in a transaction-heavy environment. Well, the conventional wisdom is that you want metadata journaling, but *not* data journaling, at the filesystem level. Postgres can protect its data just fine, but it can't recover if the filesystem goes insane. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
