Sorry, I'm going around in the circle. But I'd like to say again, I don't think this is good idea. It prevents asynchronous pg_receivexlog from fsyncing WAL data and sending feedbacks more frequently at all. They are useful, for example, when we want to monitor the write location of

In synchronous mode, pg_receivexlog should have similar logic as walreceiver does. OK. I understand that removing --fsync-interval has no problem. +1 for adding something like --synchronous option. To me, it sounds walreceiver-compatible mode rather than synchronous. Better to add

If we remove --fsync-interval, resoponse time to user will not be delay. Although, fsync will be executed multiple times in a short period. And there is no way to solve the problem without --fsync-interval, what should we do about it? I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.
