With large RAID, have you found that having WAL on a seperate array actually boosts performance? The empirical tests we've seen so far don't seem to support this. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
