I though moving some knowledge about data availability into PostgreSQL code
could provide some valuable performance benefit, allowing to organize reads
(for example parallel tables scan/indexes scan to different volumes) and
obtaining data from 'quicker' known volume (or least used/charged).
You're both saying RAID/LVM implementations provide good enough performances
for PG not having to go this way, if I understand correctly.
And distributed file systems are enough to have the replication stuff, without
PG having to deal explicitly with the work involved.
May be I should have slept after all ;)
Thanks for your time and comments, regards,
