Re: [PERFORM] Plz Heeeelp! performance settings

Tx for your reply.

You mean that RAID use fsync method for keeping data's copy.

So you invite me to desactivate fsync to increase the performance ?

Desactivating fsync. my second disk will not be uptodate, so if the
machine crash, I wont be able to get the server working quickly??? But
if I use a second machine to replicate the database, I escape this
problem isn't it ?

If I understand right, could you tell me how to do desactivate fsync
please ?

Best regards

David
