Do people think linux 2.6.5 is stable enough yet for a production PostgreSQL server?
i´m using linux 2.6.5 with postgres 7.4.2 with out problem(conectiva linux version 10)
I'd like to add here, that I recently tried 2.6.5 / Postgres 7.4.2 and found out that overall system performance during database operations decreased dramatically.
A series of queries that were usually done within about 30 minutes on Linux 2.4.25 / Postgres 7.4.2 took about 3 (three) hours on Linux 2.6.5 with Postgres 7.4.2 on the same machine with the same configuration.
While on Linux 2.4.25 the queries ran smoothly in background without impacting other activity, the responsiveness of the whole machine got so bad with 2.6.5 during the 3 hour query that simple http requests to an Apache server on the same machine repeatedly timed out.
I still don't know WHY this happened, but I believe it may resolve as a configuration issue. Maybe Postgres, maybe the Linux kernel.
