Well, in my *opinion*, if you've told the master to not "commit to" *anything* unless it's synchronously replicated, you should already have a synchronously replicating slave up and running. I'm happy with the docs saying (maybe some what more politely): Before configuring your master to be completly, wait-fully-synchronous, make sure you have a slave capable of being synchronous ready. Because if you've told it to never be un-synchronous, it won't be. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
