Isn't this a bit misleading? This may cause users to misunderstand that
such fsync can happen only in the case of crash recovery.
If I insert the following extra sentence after that one, is it better?
"This applies whenever starting a database cluster that did not shut
down cleanly, including copies created with pg_basebackup."
Yes. Thanks!
