[PERFORM] to fsync or not to fsync

2004-07-06 Thread Rodrigo Filgueira
e I'm using ext3 with data=journal, do I need to use fsync=true? 2) Is there not a problem with RedHat? should fsyncs asked by postgres to redhat be such a burden? 3) Any other tests you would suggest me to do? thank you all Rodrigo Filgueira Prates [EMAIL PROTECTED]/OIT http://www.cinter

stem (data=journal) Isn't ext3 a really slow journaled filesystem [1, 2] to begin with? [1] http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/11/134214 [2] http://209.81.41.149/~jpiszcz/index.html It might be a good experiment to figure out how different file systems affect perf. Rodrigo Filgueir
