Oh, incidentally -- in our internal testing, we found that wal_sync_method=open_datasync was significantly faster than wal_sync_method=fdatasync. You might find that open_datasync isn't much different from pmem_drain, even though they're both faster than fdatasync. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
