Hi, the comment WRT WAL recovery and FS journals [1] is a bit misleading in it's current form.
First, none of the general purpose filesystems I've seen so far do data journalling per default, since it's a huge performance penalty, even for non-RDBMS workloads. The feature you talk about is ext3 specific (and should be pointed out as such) and only disables write ordering, meaning that metadata and file content updates are not synchronized. best regards, Michael [1] 64b3d98baaf96afea815b0c37ff918f02fda11c9 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
