Hello: I am reading latest MaxDB online docs, and found this:
1) USE_OPEN_DIRECT Q: do you recommend this on a Linux w/kernel 2.6? which Filesystems make sense for this parameter? 2) "Only for UNIX/Linux: do not use hard disks with a journal file system for the volumes. Journal file systems perform their own logging of data changes, which is unnecessary for the database system and leads to performance reduction." Q: I am not familair with raw devices, so I was using XFS, because I did read it was suitable for large files, like the ones I use with MaxDB. The paragraph above put me think again... If I am not using Raw devices, does this mean that I should use Ext2?? what about server restarts? who will protect the integrity of my log and data files? I would appreciate very much your comments on these topics.
