Per the hardware tech: OS: /dev/sda is RAID1 - 2 x 2.5" 15k SAS disk pg_xlog: /dev/sdb is RAID1 - 2 x 2.5" 15k SAS disk These reside on a ServeRAID-MR10k controller with 256MB BB cache. data: /dev/sdc is RAID5 - 30 x 3.5" 15k SAS disk These reside on the DS3200 disk subsystem with 512MB BB cache per controller and redundant drive loops. At least I had the file systems and options right. ;-) -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
