Subject: How filesystems matter with PostgreSQL

Message-ID: <4C08EEDF.7090403@mtu.net> (raw)

Some interesting data about different filesystems I tried with
PostgreSQL and how it came out.

I have an application that is backed in postgres using Java JDBC to
access it. The tests were all done on an opensuse 11.2 64-bit machine,
on the same hard drive (just ran mkfs between each test) on the same
input with the same code base. All filesystems were created with the
default options.

XFS (logbufs=8): ~4 hours to finish
ext4: ~1 hour 50 minutes to finish
ext3: 15 minutes to finish
ext3 on LVM: 15 minutes to finish
