The experience we have had with different NFS versions/configurations in Linux in the past , tells us that this is not a reliable solution for databases. Others will say the oposite, but running PostgreSQL via NFS in Linux is from my point of view, a disaster waiting to happen. I have to say too that we have not tried this lately and that maybe things have improved since last time we testet. regards, -- Rafael Martinez, <r.m.guerrero@xxxxxxxxxxx> Center for Information Technology Services University of Oslo, Norway PGP Public Key: http://folk.uio.no/rafael/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
