Re: WAL & ZFS

The WAL is a journal itself and doesn't need another journal for safety. Therefore, a common recommendation is using ext2 (which has no journal) for the WAL partition.

Is this correct?

I would recommend a separate pg_wal filesystem with the record size to match the WAL page size; in my case 16k.  I have keep the default record size at 128k for the data volume and that configuration has worked well for supporting large DSS while using 16k data blocks.

I've read all the info I could find re running PG on ZFS: turn off full page writes, turn on lz4, tweak recordsize so as to take advantage of compression, etc. One thing I haven't seen is whether a separate volume for WAL would benefit from a larger recordsize. Or any other tweaks???
