Hello,
What is the disk overhead for streaming replication? I have noticed
that PostgreSQL’s disk utilization goes up by 3x on the master when a
slave is connected. The setup only uses streaming replication, i.e.
archive is off, there is no archive command. I see with iotop that the
wal writer process is averaging 80% of IO. If I stop the slave, then
IO utilization on the master drops to ~20%. Is there something that I
am doing wrong? I have wal_keep_segments at 2048, checkpoint_segments
at 96.
Thank you,
Joel
there's bug fixes in 9.2 since .4 that could easily be causing what
you're seeing.
for instance,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-5.html
(checkpoint memory leak when wal_level=hot_standby)
9.2.8 is out, 9.2.9 is coming out really soon.
