Your suggestion sounds very much like that of a Silicon Valley start-up guy ("Machine Learning to the rescue!") but I believe here a deterministic detection of the underlying drive, possibly tied to a warning on start-up, would be easier to code, less bug-prone, and faster.
OTOH, if you speak about the general problem of optimizing configuration, then I distinctly recall having read something about automatic server configuration, IMO on AWS, but quite possibly only as a feature request.
- matt4077 9y agoThere was an article and Software posted here about automatic tuning of pg with machine learning. Sorry for not searching—I’m on the road. IIRC it was an academic paper and the process was somewhat byzantine when I tried to recreate it. But the results looked good.
- viraptor 9y agoI suspect it was the paper about Ottertune: http://ottertune.cs.cmu.edu http://ottertune.cs.cmu.edu (that was innodb, not pg though)
