Is it possible (and how) to implement a data path on another partition (linux) for an existing system? And then if I do not gain anything, merging it to the production /data path? Scenario of what I want to achieve (/mnt/data is already running) /mnt/data resides on an NFS share Contains over 2 Billion web sites crawled (yeah another search-engine site) want to add: /opt/data resides on internal drive Will contain keyword hash system Then if I find this does not improve anything - or runs tight (running on IBM Blade center with 76gb internals - so I may be limited), that I can simple shutdown postgres, scp /opt/data/folder/ to the NFS - bring up postgres - fix any conf file, and everything is on the multi-terabyte array? Checking the pulse of all you speed freaks that just hit the floor because this is on NFS not iSCSI -- don't worry, when this site goes live it will be iSCSI. We have been in private development for 3 years... and the NFS still out runs the Internet connections. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
