[PERFORM] Moving postgres to FC disks

[Anjan Dave]

I am planning to move the pg databases from the internal RAID to external Fiber Channel over SAN.   Question is –   -With the db size being as big as, say, 30+GB, how do I move it on the new logical drive? (stop postgresql, and simply move it over somehow and make a link?) -Currently, the internal RAID volume is ext3 filesystem. Any recommendations for the filesystem on the new FC volume? Rieserfs?   DBs are 7.4.1(RH9), and 7.2.3 (RH8).     Appreciate any pointers.   Thanks, Anjan
