Given Florian's concern, sounds like you might have to write your own kernel too. In which case, generating a variant build of Postgres that allows full_page_writes to be disabled is certainly not beyond your powers. But for the ordinary mortal DBA, I think this combination is just too unsafe to even consider. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
