Sure - forcedirectio on the entire $PGDATA is a definite loss, you only
want it on $PGDATA/pg_xlog. The usual way this is accomplished is by
making a separate filsystem for pg_xlog and symlinking from $PGDATA.
Did you try the other option of remounting the fs for $PGDATA without
logging or forcedirectio?
