Hello everyone, first time list leech. I am in the process of speccing out a high end PC to be used as a database server for PostgreSQL. We are currently running MySQL on Linux, but want to migrate our code to PostgreSQL and we are primarily a FreeBSD shop. I am currently specing a 2U dual Xeon server and hope to use RAID 0+1 capability. The question is for PostgreSQL admins... 1) Which RAID controller should we use? 2) Considering Q1, does it not even make sense to use FreeBSD+PostgreSQL and bite the bullet and go with Linux (assuming it has better hw RAID support) and run PostgreSQL on that using a fancier journaling filesystem. Any comments greatly appreciated. -Kenji -- +++++++++++++++++++++ kenji morishige kenji@kenjim.com http://www.kenjim.com +++++++++++++++++++++
