Re: postgreSQL & amazon ec2 cloud

I'll run a java webapp running in tomcat connected to postgres via jdbc.
BTW, why the access method should be important ?
I mean, my main question is .... should pg_xlog be located on a
different EBS than data ?

My doubt is really about logical vs physical disk, since i think EBS is
logical and two EBS disks could be run on the same physical disk.....so
why to separate data and pg_xlog ? Is it still useful ? It 's like to
put data and pg_xlog on two partitions of the same disk.

Cheers,
ste
