Hi list,
I would like to ask your help in order to understand if my postgresql
server (ver. 8.2.9) is well configured.
It's a quad-proc system (32 bit) with a 6 disk 1+0 RAID array and 2
separate disks for the OS and write-ahead logs with 4GB of RAM.
I don't know what is the best info to help me and so I start with some
vmstat information:
> vmstat -n 30

-----cpu------

These are gathered loadavg info for the same period:
29.57 29.53 33.52 1/231 12641
29.54 29.63 33.31 1/226 12678

12.31 24.17 30.95 4/223 12706
