Can you suggest an appropriate size for the xlogs partition? These files are controlled by checkpoint_segments, is that correct? We have checkpoint_segments set to 500 in the current setup, which is about 8GB. So 10 to 15 GB xlogs partition? Is that reasonable? -Whit -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
