Just out of curiosity: Last time I did research, the word seemed to be that xfs was better than ext2 or ext3. Is that not true? Why use ext2/3 at all if xfs is faster for Postgres?

Criag

Ext2 vs XFS on my setup there is difference in the performance between the two file systems but its not OMG let switch. XFS did better then Ext2 only one time, then Ext2 won out by small margin at best was 6%. the other test ran at 3 to 4% better than XFS performance.

XFS has journaling so it should be safer. I think i may stick with XFS as it has journaling

One thing i think is clear don't use ext3 it just kills performance by factors not small percents

here is article i found on XFS http://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/papers/xfs_white/xfs_white_paper.html

I hope this is helpful to people. I know the process has taught me new things, and thanks to those that helped me out.

Before i throw this sever into production any one else want performance numbers.

2000 tps ??? do you have fsync turned off ?
