I haven't tested, but won't an explicit cast to void silence the
warning?
(void) fwrite(...);
There are places, notably the calls in elog.c, where ignoring write
failures is the right thing. I think that what Kevin was on about
was something else entirely, namely whether we need to retry writes
to disk. I would hope that we're not simply not bothering to check
in any cases where it matters.
