That shouldn't really matter. Either the db is just on the NAS in

on the main unit, client and all and again it wouldn't matter.
But the client and server do NOT have to be the same architecture to
work for sure.
If I understood the OP, it is not client <--> server, it is:
main server <--> replication server
In that case architecture would matter.

Scratch that. An immediate show stopping pitfall occurs to me: the necessity
to match CPU/OS Architecture between primary server and replicate target.
Doubtful that there are any consumer NAS products out there running linux on
64bit/intel

Hi
I currently run a modest streaming replication target on a cheap, single
disk ASUS media center; replicating a 100GB PG database.
I want to add RAID via a consumer grade NAS device.
As far as I can tell consumer grade NAS devices these days appear to be
fairly rich & flexible embedded lniux/freebsd systems.
Has anyone had any experience with running postgresql on the NAS device
itself? Which products? Any traps or pitfalls or integrity concerns about
such an arrangement?
