I think it would be better to use "log segment" for WAL segments. That way we don't cause confusion with the regular text/csv log output files. Heck, maybe even "WAL segment" instead of "log". As a translator, I can't have a single, clear explanation of what "log file" is because there are multiple meanings. It would be better not to depend on context. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
