PostgreSQL Portland Performance Practice Project - Database Test 2 Filesystem Characterization

The document discusses the performance evaluation of various Linux filesystems using PostgreSQL and outlines a project conducted at Portland State University. It emphasizes the importance of testing with your own hardware and filesystems, providing detailed results of benchmarks, configuration guidelines, and insights into RAID and I/O performance. The findings highlight that different filesystems and RAID configurations significantly impact performance, and users should consider their specific setups for tuning PostgreSQL effectively.
