Some interesting data about different filesystems I tried with PostgreSQL and how it came out. I have an application that is backed in postgres using Java JDBC to access it. The tests were all done on an opensuse 11.2 64-bit machine, on the same hard drive (just ran mkfs between each test) on the same input with the same code base. All filesystems were created with the default options. XFS (logbufs=8): ~4 hours to finish ext4: ~1 hour 50 minutes to finish ext3: 15 minutes to finish ext3 on LVM: 15 minutes to finish -- Jon Schewe | http://mtu.net/~jpschewe If you see an attachment named signature.asc, this is my digital signature.
