Peter,
> I wonder, is anyone really running in production with full_page_writes > off? We're doing so with clients on Joyent (ZFS). And also for "ephemeral" postgres instances -- ones where we've also turned off fsync. It's also quite reasonable to assume that future filesystems will also be able to make better torn page guarantees. So it should remain a setting. I see no reason why it should be a SIGHUP setting, though, if there's any code maintenance required to support it -- frankly, I only change this setting at first system deployment. -- 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
