One of the tricks I use for diskless systems is to mount a ramdrive in a union mount with a read only nfs mount. This allows filewrites (to the ram drive) but old originals are retrieved from the ramdrive. This is done on FreeBSD, but is effective enough for getting a fully functioning system (yes, Postgresql included). Takes quite a bit of ram though. Perhaps there is a toolkit for windows that can do similar union mounts? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
