Re: The case of PostgreSQL on NFS Server

[Iwao Shikase <shikase@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi  Roeleveld-san,

Thank you for your advice. But My purpose is to test PostgreSQL
which data cluster is in NFS server.
As your says, Cluster Filesystem is one of answer of sharing files.
But my company still want to use NFS server. So I want to know
how to use PostgreSQL using NFS.

By the way,The manual says, "if possible, mount NFS file systems synchronously (without caching) to avoid this".

I want to know  what means synchronously with out caching.
In other word, which NFS options we must use follwoing the manual.
sync ? or noac ? or both ?

Thank you ,
Iwao Shikase

Hi

This is shikase.
I have a question about PostgreSQL on NFS Server as follows.
Please let me know advice about that. If I posted the wrong mailing-list,
please let me know.
    

Why not use a real Cluster Filesystem?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustered_file_system

NFS is nice for sharing files between multiple systems, but most server 
products specifically mention it is not compatible with file sharing protocols 
like NFS/CIFS/....
