Hello, thank you first of all for your wonder help! Tomas, regarding: >There are ways to make the writes less frequent, both at the database >and OS level. We don't know what's your PostgreSQL config, but making >the checkpoints less frequent and tuning the kernel/mount options may >help a lot. We can raise up checkpoints, at kernel-side which options do you suggest to tune for minimize disk writing? We have a table, about 500Mb, that is updated and written every day. When machines updates, table is truncated and then re-populated with pg_bulk. But i think we strongly writes when importing new data tables.. Here is why we tought putting some tables into ramdrive...
