Linux IO internals for PostgreSQL administrators

Input-output (IO) performance issues have been on DBAs’ agenda since the beginning of databases. The volume of data grows rapidly and time is of an essence when one needs to get necessary data fast from the disk and, more importantly, to the disk.

It is however essential always to understand how the optimisation of those settings actually works, especially, if you run into corner cases.
