[Treebase-devel] Postgres problems on treebase-dev

[Jon A. <jon...@du...>]

We've been experience problems on treebase-dev which randomly forces  
the postgresql server offline. Looking through the logs, I see I/O  
errors which force the postgresql volume offline and then restarts it  
read-only. Postgresql cannot start on a read-only volume because it  
needs to right to logs and some temp space.

I believe the problem arises from the current VM infrastructure. All  
VMs are using the same LUN to connect to the iSCSI storage repository.  
I've got a second repository not in use that contains faster SCSI  
disks than the SATA disks that we are currently using.  I can also  
tune this new repository for faster I/O.

So, in plain English, this means I'll be working on getting this new  
repository working and moving the postgresql volume to it. It should  
not take me more than an hour or two. I'll let you know when it's up  
and that should fix our postgresql issues.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
