I have read a few things on the Web saying this is not recommended, as it will be slow and could potentially cause data corruption. Its not recommended if you have a crap NFS implementation. I think it was about 10 years ago I ran Oracle under Solaris with a Netapp for storage. Rock solid, supported configuration, and actually outperformed using local disk. Hopefully the open source NFS clients have caught up by now - if you see problem reports or recommendations, pay attention to the platform and implementation rather than the protocol. -- Stuart Bishop <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.stuartbishop.net/ -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
