There's also a lot to be said for dumping to a dedicated local drive with fsync turned off. They're logs so you can chance losing them by putting them on a cheap fast 7200 rpm SATA drive. If your logs take up more than a few megs a second then they are coming out really fast. Do you know what your log generation rate in bytes/second is? -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
