Right.

So, since I'm writing a function to fsync everything inside PGDATA
anyway, it makes sense to call it both from initdb and StartupXLOG.
It'll do what initdb -S now does, plus follow links in pg_tblspc.

Any suggestions about where to put such a function? (I was looking at
backend/utils/init, but I'm not sure that's a good place for this.)
