I'm wondering what experience people have had running pg 8.x in a
virtualized environment. Are there any best practices to follow that
differen when running on a real metal? Are there performance issue? What
virtual environment seems most friendly to pg ? Xen, VMWare, other? What
about storage; is it best to keep the cluster in a filesystem that is part
of the vm-image or on a mounted file system that exists external to the
image? (in other words, a /dev/sdxx that is really some NAS type of device,
or NFS? CIFS?)
