ReiserFS 4 is (will be) a filesystem that implements transactions.
Are there any plans in a future Postgresql version to support a special fsync method for Reiser4 which will use the filesystem's transaction engine, instead of an old kludge like fsync(), with a possibility of vastly enhanced performance ?
Is there also a possibility to tell Postgres : "I don't care if I lose 30 seconds of transactions on this table if the power goes out, I just want to be sure it's still ACID et al. compliant but you can fsync less often and thus be faster" (with a possibility of setting that on a per-table basis) ?
Thanks.
