<application>pg_test_fsync</> is intended to give you a reasonable
|
|
idea of what the fastest <xref linkend="guc-wal-sync-method"> is on your
|
|
specific system,
|
|
as well as supplying diagnostic information in the event of an
|
|
identified I/O problem. However, differences shown by pg_test_fsync
|
|
might not make any difference in real database throughput, especially
|
|
since many database servers are not speed-limited by their transaction
|
|
logs.

|
|
This file should be in the same file system that the

|
(<filename>pg_xlog</> contains the <acronym>WAL</> files.)
|
|
The default is <filename>pg_test_fsync.out</> in the current
