Cool. Good to know. I'll see if I can replicate these results in my environment. Thanks, M. From: Josh Berkus Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 1:05 PM To: Mel Llaguno; Przemysław Deć Cc: pgsql-performance@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [PERFORM]

FYI - all my tests were conducted using Ubuntu 12.04 x64 LTS (which I believe are all 3.xx series kernels). Mel Llaguno • Staff Engineer – Team Lead Office: +1.403.264.9717 x310 www.coverity.com <http://www.coverity.com/> • Twitter: @coverity Coverity by Synopsys On 4/6/15, 2:51 PM,

[PERFORM] Anyone have experience using PG on a NetApp All-Flash FAS8000?

The reason I ask is that it seems to support deduplication/compression. I was wondering if this would have any performance implications of PG operations. Thanks, M.? Mel Llaguno * Staff Engineer - Team Lead Office: +1.403.264.9717 x310 www.coverity.com<http://www.coverity.com/>

Re: [PERFORM] HFS+ pg_test_fsync performance

2014-04-23 Thread Mel Llaguno
Josh, Thanks for the feedback. Given the prevalence of SSDs/VMs, it would be useful to start collecting stats/tuning for different operating systems for things like fsync (and possibly bonnie++/dd). If the community is interested, I¹ve got a performance lab that I¹d be willing to help run tests on

Re: [PERFORM] HFS+ pg_test_fsync performance

2014-04-15 Thread Mel Llaguno
My 2 cents : The results are not surprising, in the linux enviroment the i/o call of pg_test_fsync are using O_DIRECT (PG_O_DIRECT) with also the O_SYNC or O_DSYNC calls, so ,in practice, it is waiting the "answer" from the storage bypassing the cache in sync mode, while in the Mac OS X i

[PERFORM] HFS+ pg_test_fsync performance

2014-04-14 Thread Mel Llaguno
I was given anecdotal information regarding HFS+ performance under OSX as being unsuitable for production PG deployments and that pg_test_fsync could be used to measure the relative speed versus other operating systems (such as Linux). In my performance lab, I have a number of similarly equipped Li

Let me clarify further - when we reconstruct our schema (without the upgrade step) via a sql script, the problem still persists. Restoring an upgraded DB which contains existing data into exactly the same instance will correct the behavior. Mel Llaguno | Principal Engineer
