Perhaps you should've read the configuration-manual-page more carefully. ;)
Besides, WAL-archiving is turned off by default, so if you see them being archived you actually enabled it earlier

The "archive_command" is empty by default: "If this is an empty string (the default), WAL archiving is disabled."

the manual somewhere states "... if archiving is enabled..." To me this implies that archiving can be disabled. However I cannot find the parameter to use to get this result. Or should I enable archiving and use a backup script like

#!/usr/bin/bash
exit 0



Would appreciate a hint. And yes I know I put my database in danger etc. This is for some benchmarks where I do not want the overhead of archiving. Jus a file system that will not fill with zillions of these 16MB WAL files ;^)

Thanks
Paul.
