The Linux VM running postgres has two virtual disks – one taking transaction log writes. Since the DB is small (50% the size of the Linux RAM) – the database is mostly cached on the read side – so we only see writes going to the DB files. A quick look at how the workload is seen from the Nutanix CVM.
