If a platform doesn't have posix_fadvise(), we don't allow effective_io_concurrency to be set to anything but zero:
test=> set effective_io_concurrency = 1; ERROR: 1 is outside the valid range for parameter "effective_io_concurrency" (0 .. 0) test=> set effective_io_concurrency = 0; SET Do we want to give a more informative error message, like "not supported on this platform?" -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
