- How large is the db? By which I mean how much disk space does the data directory occupy?
20 GB
- What's the bandwidth of the network connection to the distant slave?
during rsync, I see narly 125Mbits/sec
- What's the CPU & disk on each end?
disk : 6 * 146GB 15Krpm RAID10
CPU : 16 cores Xeon(R) CPU L5630 @ 2.13GHz cache size : 12288 KB
Only Postgres is running on my servers (no HTTP server, nothing else, ...). CPU usage is very low.
This afternoon, I have again sent some updates requests, which were replicated to the sslaves.
:
- I am looking modification of modification dates and checksums of 2 tables among my 6000 tables :
For each file, the checksum is the same on all the slaves, but different from the checksum of the master.
For each file, the modification time is different on each node. (see below)
So if I want to promote one slave as the master, it will not need to copy data from the new master to the previous slaves with rsync, but it will copy all the files from the new master to the old master (which is now a slave).
I shall try tomorrow topromote again a slave, and I shall rsync withh --checksum.
I don't think that it is -a is very useful withh --checksum (no need to preserve modification times). Do you agree ?
