Hi,

ok, conclusion: lots of RAM make Postgres faster, if you adjust you
config file.
And multi-processor usage depends on your linux kernel.

But what is the best file system to use?
I'm going to run postgres on a IDE-RAID5 (hardware from 3Ware) ATA-100
system, total capacity around the 160GB, anybody had any good or bad
experience with different File systems (ext2, ext3, reiser, etc)?

Regards,

Jean Huveneers
