Let’s say we have to run a PostgreSQL instance on top of a copy on write
filesystem like ZFS or BTRFS. In adittion to set full_page_writes = off, what
other optimizations can be done on the PostgreSQL side?

, the replica hotspare and
the proper backup.

I have understood I shall not do it, but could the technical details be
discussed about why silent DB corruption can occur with non-atomical snapshots?
ode should know on which DB the requested data is.

Hello everybody,
I’m using PostgreSQL on openZFS. I use ZFS snapshots as a backup + hotspare
method.
