I proposed to explore splitting BLCKSZ into separate values for logging
and data to see if there might be anything to gain:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-03/msg00745.php
My first pass was to do more or less a search and replace (attached) and
I am already running into trouble with a 'make check' (below). I'm
guessing that when initdb is run, I'm not properly saving the values
that I've defined for DATA_BLCKSZ and possibly LOG_BLCKSZ.
So I'm hoping someone could give me a pointer and I thought it might be
a good idea send something out.
Thanks,
Mark
