I don't know how much was the filesystem, but with both tuned to the best of our ability Linux on xfs ran much faster than Windows on NTFS. The lack of atomic operations and a lockfile utility on Windows/NTFS was something of a handicap. I have found Linux to be much more reliable and (once I got my bash scripting knowledge of common Linux utilities to a certain level), much easier to administer. Getting my head around xargs was, I think, the tipping point. ;-) -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
