I'm considering the following setup:
- Master server with battery back raid controller with 4 SAS disks in a RAID 0 - so NO mirroring here, due to max
performancerequirements.
- Slave server setup with streaming replication on 4 HDD's in RAID 10. The setup will be done with
synchronous_commit=offand synchronous_standby_names = ''
So as you might have noticed, clearly there is a risk of data loss, which is acceptable, since our data is not very
crucial.However, I have quite a hard time figuring out, if there is a risk of total data corruption across both server
inthis setup? E.g. something goes wrong on the master and the wal files gets corrupt. Will the slave then apply the wal
filesINCLUDING the corruption (e.g. an unfinished transaction etc.), or will it automatically stop restoring at the
pointjust BEFORE the corruption, so my only loss is data AFTER the corruption?
Hope my question is clear
