Thread: new journaling system in OSX
I just upgraded to system 10.2.2 for Mac OSX. I saw in the documentation that they have added a new Journaling File System so on a lark I turned it on. I see that when postgresql is starting up it now takes it quite a while (from about 2 seconds to 12-15 seconds). I don't see anything else 'weird' however does anyone have any experience with this kind of behavior? I guess this is more of a 'heads up' message. I would hate to see youse guys actually release a version that had major problem with OSX. Ted __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Journalling file systems do cause extra overhead when we fsync the data to the disk, but I wouldn't expect that magnitude of change, and I wouldn't expect it to be during startup. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
Speaking of which, I can't seem to get my postgres 7.2.1 to run at all on my new OS X 10.2 system. That works fine on 10.1.5. Do I have to install a new version of postgres?

You should try 7.3beta. It will work on that OS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pan Global wrote: > Speaking of which, I can't seem to get my postgres 7.2.1 to run at all on my > new OS X 10.2 system.

There is a problem with the 'make' of 7.2.x in 10.2 There is a fix that requires commenting out a few lines. search the 'bugs' area and you will find the thread.
