Hi all, inspired by the last posting "Weird disk write load caused by PostgreSQL?" i increased the work_mem from 1 to 7MB and did some loadtest with vacuum every 10 minutes. The system load (harddisk) went down and everything was very stable at 80% idle for nearly 24 hours! I am currently performing some pgbench runs to evaluate the hardware and configuration for the system but i think the biggest problems are solved so far. thx everybody, Peter 2006/10/2, Tom Lane <tgl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
