I was advised to use 32bit for compatibility reasons IIRC.  No problem to go 64bit if it's advantageous and won't give me any grief with my s/w though.

Why are you using a 686-pae kernel?

Morning all.

I have a potential requirement for a Debian/Postgres 9.3 server that will handle a relatively high number of unindexable queries (co-ord based, I'll look at GIS but not sure it'll help) that take some time – currently about 6 secs with one query (although that is with a lot of redundant data which I'm currently removing). There could be 50k queries/day. Writes will be minimum. I'll look at further tuning the query, but as it's a function I can't seem to get any plan details for it ☹

So, 1st question – will the 4Gb per process limit of the 32bit pae kernel limit the caching of the database which will be in the 10's of Gb.

Are SSD's now at a stage where they're suitable/reliable for this use – am I safer using RAID 1 mdadm with 1 ssd and 1 hdd (how will it know use the ssd for reads?)

And I presume as much RAM as will fit in the box!

Any other thoughts welcome.


Martin.
