Thus it is only advisable to turn off fsync if you can easily recreate your entire database from external data. So if you care about your data, that's to set in any case to on, as is full_page_writes. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
