I think, using LVM on a database is very risky. > Is there any workaround in postgreSQL? I have changed the whole disk to a 3Ware Raid-5 SATA with 4 and/or 8 Harddisks. This will save your nerves. Please note, that if you stop the pgsql and flush the diskcache you can copy the pgsql-data-dir to the new location. > I will apreciate any help you people could give me. > > All yours > Ing.Jose A Fuenmayor Nava.
