-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello. I need to tune a postgres installation I've just made to get a better performance. I use two identical servers with a hot replication configuration. The two servers have the following hardware: Dual Processor Intel Xeon E5-2640V2 20Mb cache 2.00Ghz, Ram Mem. 32Gb DDR-3 Ecc Registered, Controller MegaRaid 8-ports 1Gb cache, 4 Enterprise Hdd NL Sas 600 4Tb Sata, 2 Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series 512Gb, 2 Hdd 500 Gb I made a software raid with the last two hard disks with ext4 and I installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (I have to use this SO) on it. I made a hardware raid with the four SAS hard disks and I mount the partition on it with ext4 without journaling and I put the database on it. Now I have two more steps to do. 1- could you please help tuning the configuration? What are the best value I should use for wal_buffers and shared_buffers? 2- I would like to use the two SDD to store the wal file. Do you think it is useful or how should I use them? Thank you for your answers. Best Regards, Maila Fatticcioni -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlSII/gACgkQi2q3wPb3FcPUuACgg2m2o9dQWavLrN2EmmmCpGEv YnMAoN0R/gejcKwnxf0qFPKXtaGaIG1A =oLxU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
