That won't fix anything released already, so as per the information gathered something has to be done anyway. The discussion of this thread is spreading quite a lot actually. Handling things at a low-level looks like a better plan for the backend. Tools like pg_basebackup and pg_dump also issue fsync's on the data created, we should do an equivalent for them, with some exit() calls in file_utils.c. As of now failures are logged to stderr but not considered fatal. -- Michael
