I didn't mention before but I changed checkpoint_segments to 300 but no
checkpoint_time. Disk space doesn't matter at all ... time to
recovery.... shouldn't be very long (I don't have much experiences with
this as I do online backup every day). Can anyone please tell me what
values of these two parametres are reasonable?
