VMWare file system / database corruption

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

 



Hi All,

We're having numerous problems with a PostgreSQL 8.3.7 database running on a virtual Linux server w/VMWare ESX. This is not by choice and I have been asking the operator of this equipment for details about the disk setup and here's what I got:

"We have a SAN that is presenting an NFS share. VMWare sees that share and reads the VMDK file that make up the virtual file system."

Does anyone with a better understanding of PostgreSQL and VMWare know if this is an unreliable setup for PostgreSQL? I see things like "NFS" and "VMWare" and start to get worried.

Tom
