I know this question has been asked before. I have seen it in the archives. Unfortunately the archives are dead right now (any search will yield "no results") and I need to make some decisions. Can anyone give some general recommendations on hardware for a server running Linux (RH6 or 6.1) and PostgreSQL? I estimate that there will be about 2 GIG of data stored in the database initially, but this could grow as high as 5 GIG in the future. Since the db is not multithreaded, I assume that buying a dual processor board and two processors would not be helpful to performance. Like any database server, a lot of ram will be required for fast operation. I was thinking at a minimum 256 meg of ram. I also want to have the database run on a RAID 5 array for speed and fault tolerance. Any suggestions here for disk type, RAID scheme (software or hardware), controller type, etc.? Any rule of thumb on the "extra" disk space needed above raw storage space for PostgreSQL operations (temporary tables, vacuum issues, etc)? Any past experiences, benchmarks, guesses, or hearsay gladly accepted. Thanks for your help. - Adam ------------------- Adam Rossi President, PlatinumSolutions, Inc. adam.rossi@platinumsolutions.com http://www.platinumsolutions.com P.O.
