Hi there!

I'm trying to comprehend the current status of filesystem settings and
PostgreSQL settings.

If I run on a machine (using Linux and ext3) with no battery backed
raid controller then I should use fsync=on and disable the write cache
on my harddrives  to avoid corruption.

If I had a controller with battery, then I could use fsync=off, but I
should still disable the write cache?
