However, a number of people are running PostgreSQL over NFS to network attached storage devices, and it seems to run fine --- I just am not sure what will happen if the network attached storage devices goes down.
We also run PostgreSQL with the data-directory on a NAS. The system was very slow. After we moved the data-dir to the database server the system was about 20 times faster.
Does PostgreSQL have a problem with NAS?
