Fujii, Simon, For 9.1, both master and replica in a sync replication relationship are required to be fsync'ing to disk. I understand why we had to do that for our first cut at synch rep. Do you think, though, that it might become possible to replicate without synch-to-disk for 9.2?
The use case I have is cloud hosting, where I'd rather have two or three synchronous standbys than synch to disk. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
