Have you set the recordsize for the filesystem to the blocksize Postgres is using (8K)? Note this has to be done before any files are created.
Other thoughts: Disable postgres's fsync, enable filesystem compression if disk I/O is your bottleneck as opposed to CPU. I do this with MySQL and it has proven useful. My rule of thumb there is 60% for InnoDB cache, 40% for ZFS ARC, but YMMV. http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide -- bda cyberpunk is dead. long live cyberpunk. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
