Actually, it is common for "obvious" facts to be entirely incorrect.
-> ext3 wouldn't "die" with a file of that size; it supports files up to about 2TB in size, and 8GB shouldn't be an "uncomfortable" size -> PostgreSQL normally switches to a new file at 1GB intervals, so that no file is ever larger than 1GB in size That's not to say that ext3 would be my "favorite" for the purpose; while I am not entirely decided as to the relative merits of JFS and XFS, I'd generally prefer them to ext3. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="gmail.com" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; http://linuxdatabases.info/info/slony.html "If you haven't settled on your final year project, perhaps you would like to write a C compiler that turns code into Turing machines : I don't see anything wrong with that" -- Arthur Norman ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
