Hi Everyone The machine is IBM x345 with ServeRAID 6i 128mb cache and 6 SCSI 15k disks.
2 disks are in RAID1 and hold the OS, SWAP & pg_xlog 4 disks are in RAID10 and hold the Cluster itself. the DB will have two major tables 1 with 10 million rows and one with 100 million rows. All the activities against this tables will be SELECT. Currently the strip size is 8k. I read in many place this is a poor setting. Am i right ? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
