All,

There's a number of blog tests floating around comparing XFS and Ext3,
and the various Linux schedulers, for PGDATA or for an all-in-one mount.

However, the WAL has a rather particular write pattern, and it's
reasonable to assume that it shouldn't be optimized the same way as
PGDATA.  Has anyone done any head-to-heads for WAL drive configuration
changes?
