Hi folks; Wondering about the various pros and cons of using the "gjournal" GEOM provider... and if you can "promote" and existing system using it, or whether you need to build something anew. The scenario is a fairly busy and large system with PostgreSQL database data on it. The data is currently on a 2-disk gmirror pair to provide data safety in the event of a disk failure. I am using softupdates right now. If I'm reading the docs correctly, I can't put gjournal in use on the existing filesystem, and need to effectively build a new disk structure then copy over the data onto it. Can you boot from a gjournal'd root? Ideas please, pros and cons of the various alternatives, etc..... thanks! -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind
