Re: Ideal disk setup for Postgresql 7.4?

Josh,

Thanks again for the feedback.

Good. We don't plan on using IDE, but I've pondered Firewire.

Good to know.

You mentioned earlier that to get around the CS bug, avoid the query
structures which trigger it. Dumb question: How do you isolate this?

Is there a way in a Postgresql query to only look at 1 processor only in
a dual-CPU setup?

FYI:Our company has an near-identical server (SCSI and IDE)for testing
purposes of the animal hopsital application that is used. If there are
any test patches to Postgresql to deal with CS storm, we can test it out
if this is possible.

Any likelyhood this CS storm will be understood in the next couple months?

Thanks.
