Thread: Wednesday beta postponed till Thursday
It seems some junior electrician in Panama pulled the wrong circuit
breaker ... and then the mail.postgresql.org server spent an
unreasonable number of hours fsck'ing. (Why is Marc a FreeBSD fan
anyway? Don't ask me, I work for Red Hat.) Anyhow, due to the loss
of project communications for today, it seems best to put off tomorrow's
intended 7.4beta4 release for a day. We'll plan Thursday instead.

Just use FreeBSD 5 - background fsck.

Apparently Marc doesn't think FreeBSD 5 is stable enough to use yet.
(Having lit the touchpaper, I shall now retire to a safe distance ;-))

I would like to offer some lighter fluid and state that this wouldn't have been a problem if we were using RH-9 with Ext3 (or XFS).

I spent a good portion of yesterday aft chatting on the -current mailng list about how slow fsck was :( I run 5.x on the computers here in the office, and have had the occasional "freak reboot", so she's not quite there yet ... hopefully in the spring I can take some time to start migrating over to it ...

Trust me, if I felt confident enough with it, we'd already be moved ... after Xmas, hopefully be able to start with it ... *cross fingers* They've done some major re-writes of the SMP code to improve performance that I'd love to get running ...
