Background fsck

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I saw some recommendations from people on the net not to use background fsck when running PostgreSQL on FreeBSD. As I recall, these opinions were just thoughts of people which they shared with the community, following their bad experience caused by using background fsck. So, not coming any deeper with underatanding why not, I use that as a clear recommendation for myself and keep background fsck turned off on all my machines, regardless how much faster a server could come up after a crash.

But waiting so much time (like now) during foreground fsck of a large data filesystem after unclean shutdown, makes me to come to this group to ask whether I really need to avoid background fsck on a PostgreSQL machine? Could I hear your opinions?

Thanks

Irek.
