After a week of testing i decided to go with JFS as the FS for Postgres.
im not an expert benchmarker so i hope i initiated the right parameters
in bonnie.
Any way here are the results of bonnie++ & pgbench:

Hi Everyone
Im setting up a machine that will host postgres 8.0.3.
The main tables will be:
Product - around 5 million records.
keywords - around 80 million records.
The machine that will host it is IBM x345 with two XEON, 3GB RAM,
ServeRAID 6i and 6 15K HD.
The OS ( Centos4.1 ) will be installed on the RAID 1 ( 2 HD )
The PG Data will be initialized on RAID 10 ( 4 HD ).
should I stick to the default postgres 8192 block size ?
If so, the same 8192 should be applied to the Reiserfs block size ?
and what about the RAID hardware striping size ?
Read on the net that pg 8k, reiserfs 8k and Raid strip of 64k will be
the best.

Is it safe to use noatime, nodirtime, notail on the partion of PG data ?
