I agree with Simon here. There is no point to fsync the 2PC files are in case of an immediate crash after promotion replay will happen from the last checkpoint, aka the one before the promotion has been triggered. So there is no point to flush them at promotion, they would be replayed anyway. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
