The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/runtime-config-file-locations.html Description:
In various places (e.g. stackoverflow), I've seen people suggest having pg_xlog ion a different disk (i.e. not in /var/lib/pgsql/9.X/data). The only mention of this that I've seen is in Section 29.5 (WAL Internals), and that just says "it is advantageous...", with no explanation. If this IS a good idea, then "Server Configuration / File Locations" is where it should be discussed: in particular, why is it a good idea, and how does it affect backups (and in particular base backups to a standby server). -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
