Well, am I just wrong, or the file system might also heavily rely on
cache, especially as I use XFS ?
So anyway Postgresql has no way to know if the data is really on the
disk, and in case of a brutal outage, the system may definitely lose
data, wether there is another level of caching (Raid controller) or
not...
Right ?
