yes, it looks that way. I wonder what whould happen to reliability and performance if the files were opened using Windows' write through cache flag (FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH). Also, this article might be relevant: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;332023 although I see the Windows tests were done on W2000/SP3, so maybe not. andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
