Possible values are fsync (call fsync() at each commit), fdatasync (call fdatasync() at each commit), open_sync (write WAL WAL files with open() option O_SYNC), and open_datasync (write WAL files with open() option O_DSYNC). Not all of these choices are available on all platforms. If fsync is off then this setting is irrelevant messages; it may trun- cate or drop messages just when you need them the most.

depending on the object type, as explained above. The first GRANT or REVOKE on an object will instantiate the default privileges (produc- ing, for example, miriam=arwdDxt/miriam) and then modify them per any such interruption will result in an I/O error being reported. It is not necessary to use the sync mount option. The behavior of the async option is sufficient, since PostgreSQL issues fsync calls analogous to how it works on a local file system.) However, it is strongly recommended to use the sync export option on the NFS server on systems where it exists (mainly Linux). Otherwise, an fsync or
