Hi All,
What is the word about using PG with journaled file systems? I have heard
that it's best to not have the PG journal in a journaled system to avoid
double journaling.
Can someone that understand the issues involved (performance, reliability)
please shed some light on the issue?
Thanks in advance,
-Roberto

Journaling metadata is good. Journaling file contents is redundant ---
turn that off if you can. (Of course, if there is anything other than
Postgres files on the same device, you may not want to turn off contents
journalling...)
