The file system is not the problem -- it's shared memory that's an issue for Postgres.

I assume Slony-II will be here way earlier, making it all moot. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]alvh.no-ip.org>) "Right now the sectors on the hard disk run clockwise, but I heard a rumor that you can squeeze 0.2% more throughput by running them counterclockwise.
