List pgsql-performance
I just wanted to bounce off the list the best way to configure disks for a postgresql server. My gut feeling is as follows:
 
Keep the OS and postgresql install on seperate disks to the postgresql /data directory?
Is a single hard disk drive acceptable for the OS and postgresql program, or will this create a bottle neck? Would a multi disk array be more appropriate?
 
Cheers,
 
Benjamin Wragg
