However it seems the best plan based on feedback from the client is either (a) simply leave the pg_xlog dir in the VMDK or (b) relocate pg_xlog to NAS/NFS I'm not a VMware expert, however I thought VMware would allow the creation of multiple disk volumes and attach them via separate mount points. Is this not true? If it is an option can someone point me to a how to... Also, if we cannot do multiple VMDK volumes then what is everyone's thoughts about relocating pg_xlog to an NFS mount?

Yes it is possible to do this and then you will be able to use standard OS tools to determine the IO utilization. > > > Also, if we cannot do multiple VMDK volumes then what is everyone's > thoughts about relocating pg_xlog to an NFS mount? > I personally wouldn't do it but it would depend on the implementation.
