For them, the most efficient way is to allow (when possible) 20% of ram for the shared buffers. So for example on my dev box (centrino core 2) with 4Go ram with pae kernel I use this shared_buffers = 1024MB # min 128kB or max_connections*16kB # (change requires restart) temp_buffers = 128MB # min 800kB max_prepared_transactions = 10 # can be 0 or more # (change requires restart) # Note: Increasing max_prepared_transactions costs ~600 bytes of shared memory # per transaction slot, plus lock space (see max_locks_per_transaction). work_mem = 512MB # min 64kB maintenance_work_mem = 64MB # min 1MB max_stack_depth = 6MB # min 100kB # - Free Space Map - max_fsm_pages = 2048000 # min max_fsm_relations*16, 6 bytes each # (change requires restart) max_fsm_relations = 64000 # min 100, ~70 bytes each # (change requires restart) I've got quiet some nice thoughtput with this iotop giving me pg running at the full raw speed of the disk. 75MB/s with getting records in gis software after. I've launch a vaccum full after the insert, and this one take very long time to finish ( > 10 hours ). you will get some more accurate information on the pg guru list if you explain what you have (hardware,software), and have to do. -- Bruno Friedmann ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
