Milen,

> XFS, EXT3, JFS
For what reason are you planning to use a journaling FS? I think using WAL, fsyncing every transaction and using a journaling FS is tautologous. And if you have problems using EXT2 you can just add the journal later without loosing data.
My tests using EXT2 showed a performance boost up to 50% on INSERTs.
