If you generate 2000 WAL per hour, you should configure it to something like 170 (or 5 min average if 2000 is a spike). It'll perform less checkpoint and also generate less WALs. -- Julien Rouhaud http://dalibo.com - http://dalibo.org -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
