Yeah, there was a problem with *extreme* sharing ... the code tried to use the same buffer for multiple disk blocks at the same time, and somehow the backends did not agree on the correct content. But it's fixed and back in. You can see ARC working by setting
buffer_strategy_status_interval = 10 # seconds
and starting postmaster with -d1
It is not on by default?
Sure not. Why would someone turn on debug messages by default?
Or did you mean ARC itself? Since it replaced the old LRU code, it is the only choice you have now. Which sort of raises the question if we would want to have multiple choices, like a config option
buffer_replacement_strategy = lru|lru2|arc
