On a Sil SATA 3114 controller: /dev/sda OS + Swap /dev/sdb /var with pg_xlog On the 3Ware 9500S-8, 5 disk array: /dev/sdc with the database (and very safe, my MP3 collection ;-)) As I wrote in one of my posts to Michael, I suspect that the card is not handling the amount of write operations as well as I expected. I wonder if anyone else sees the same characteristics with this kind of card. Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
