1. OS part
|
|
- filesystem, probably reiserfs (fast)
|
|
- tweaked boot for high performance
|
|
- tweaked kernel, highmem, disk access and stuff
|
|
|
|
2. database part
|
|
- various maintanace scripts (for now using them for backups
|
|
and vacuuming)
|
|
- jump to pg8 :(
|
|
- autovacuum???
|
|
- implementing a logging facility to RAM, flushing logs in
|
|
background to disk?????
|
|
|
|
3. backup part
|
|
- backup is done by shell scripts and cron (change? not likely)
|
|
- backups on other machines (over scp for other linux hosts, samba
|
|
for 'secure' Windows2000???, eventually a pro backup app although i
|
|
don't think it is necessary, maybe for whole system recovery)
|
|
|
|
4. spying, early warning, notification part.
|
|
- monitoring disk space, backup files dimensions, excerpts from
|
|
certain log files, system status and stats (cpu usage, ram etc), monitoring
|
|
pg sessions because the internal pg monitor sucks :(, we need a good policy on
|
|
killing iddle sessions and runaway processes.
