..and a whole lot of manual work, that's prone to error for something
that could easily be automated, at certainly less than 2000 EUR initial,
additional cost (if any at all, in case you already have three servers).
Sorry, I still fail to understand that use case.
It reminds me of the customer that wanted to save the cost of the BBU
and ran with fsync=off. Until his server got down due to a power outage.
But yeah, we provide that option as well, yes. Point taken.
