Dear all,

I am doing some Performance tuning in Pgsql. I have changed several
Parameters in postgresql.conf file. Now I want to change my pg_xlog
directory to another disk.

I followed the below steps :

cd /hrd2-p/postgres_data

/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 stop
mkdir -p /opt/pg_xlog
chown -R postgres.postgres /opt/pg_xlog
chmod 700 /opt/pg_xlog
cp -rf pg_xlog/* /opt/pg_xlog
mv pg_xlog pg_xlog_old
ln -s /opt/pg_xlog pg_xlog
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start

But me server fail to start and there is empty log in startup.log. I also checked my permissions and directories are owned by postgres user.

Is I am failing something and there is some simple way.

Also, i want to know after Performance tuning following the below link :

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Performance_Optimization.

How much our performance increases.

I am selecting data from 5Gb file and it takes 229477 ms.
Still i execute same query in 226977 ms after some tuning.

Please help.

Best Regards

Adarsh Sharma

So there are absolutely no warnings emitted to the screen or anywhere
else? Seems very very unlikely to me.

Hi,,
you have to move the contents from the old to the new pg_xlog directory as
well.

HTH, Jens
