It's locally attached storage:
2x NVMe installed in the server
on them mdadm RAID1
on that LUKS full disk encryption
on that ext4
please note that exactly the same storage / partition holds also MySQL
and Sphinxsearch databases - all those run at the same server, under
different users. all of them [ PG, MySQL, Sphinx ] are under heavy
read traffic and update traffic comparable to one described above for
postgresql - there are no consistency issues in Sphinx, MySQL
databases.
postgresql backups are done with pg_dumpall every 24h, we also use
streaming replication so servers where inconsistencies were found are
also masters for 5 replicas.
