Francisco and Richard,
Why ask about disk or raid? How would that impact any settings in

What OS are you using?
Thanks,

Will this be a dedicated Postgresql server?
Will there be mostly reads or will there also be significant amount of
writes?
Are you on a RAID system or do you have several disks over which you
would
like to run postgresql on?
