GUC as full_commit_recovery? > commit_waits_for_fsync = force_yes : makes all commits "hard"yes : commits are "hard" unless specified otherwise [default]no : commits are"soft" unless specified otherwise [should replace fsync=off use case]force_no : makes all commits "soft" (controller with write cache "emulator") the force_yes and force_no are for benchmarking purposes mostly, ie. once your app is tuned to specify which commits have to be guaranteed ("hard") and which don't ("soft") you can then bench it with force_yes and force_no to see how much you gained, and how much you'd gain by buying a write cache controller...
