Hello all I'm running a postgres 7.4.5, on a dual 2.4Ghz Athlon, 1Gig RAM and an 3Ware SATA raid. Currently the database is only 16G with about 2 tables with 500000+ row, one table 200000+ row and a few small tables. The larger tables get updated about every two hours. The problem I having with this server (which is in production) is the disk IO. On the larger tables I'm getting disk IO wait averages of ~70-90%. I've been tweaking the linux kernel as specified in the PostgreSQL documentations and switched to the deadline scheduler. Nothing seems to be fixing this. The queries are as optimized as I can get them. fsync is off in an attempt to help preformance still nothing. Are there any setting I should be look at the could improve on this???
Thanks for and help in advance. Ron ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
