I decided to reformat the raid 10 into ext2 to see if there was any real
big difference in performance as some people have noted here is the
test results
please note the WAL files are still on the raid 0 set which is still in
ext3 file system format. these test where run with the fsync as
before. I made sure every thing was the same as with the first test.
As you can see there is a 3 to 3.5 times increase in performance
numbers just changing the file system
With -S option set there is not change in performance numbers
