Mel,
I was given anecdotal information regarding HFS+ performance under OSX as
being unsuitable for production PG deployments and that pg_test_fsync
could be used to measure the relative speed versus other operating systems
You're welcome to identify your source of anecdotal evidence: me.

Josh,
Thanks for the feedback. Given the prevalence of SSDs/VMs, it would be
useful to start collecting stats/tuning for different operating systems
for things like fsync (and possibly bonnie++/dd). If the community is
interested, I¹ve got a

My 2 cents :
The results are not surprising, in the linux enviroment the i/o call of
pg_test_fsync are using O_DIRECT (PG_O_DIRECT) with also the O_SYNC or
O_DSYNC calls, so ,in practice, it is waiting the answer from the storage
bypassing the cache in sync mode, while in the Mac OS X it
