Re: Linux - postgres RAID

Ok then, the size of the postgres data directory is about 1 GB. The
OS will be a version of linux with a 2.6 kernel. 100 GB of total
storage would be plenty. The load load would probably be around
2k-3k transactions / minute. I plan on doing a lot of research on my
own I am just looking for a place to start looking.
