Re: Postgres over Linux NBD or NFS

Anselmo bom dia!

Não é custoso monstar um Cluster (Storage caseiro) em PostgreSQL, Está em
discussão no forum da PostgreSQL a possíbilidade de usar o NFS (Network file
system) ou o NBD (Network Block Device), ambos consistem em "Mapear"  a
partição de dados do PostgreSQL em uma OUTRA máquina com PostgreSQL a fim de
que os as duas máquinas trabalhem com a mesma base de dados.
