I just wanted to bounce off the list the best way to configure disks for a
postgresql server. My gut feeling is as follows:

Keep the OS and postgresql install on seperate disks to the postgresql /data
directory?
Is a single hard disk drive acceptable for the OS and postgresql program, or
will this create a bottle neck? Would a multi disk array be more
appropriate?

Cheers,

Benjamin Wragg
