Package: postgresql-8.0 Severity: wishlist As discussed on Debconf5:
postgres' postinst (or perhaps startup script) should warn if the data resides on a disk with write cache enabled (use hdparm?), as that can have potentially disastreous effects on your data integrity (unless you'd be lucky enough to have battery-backed write cache, which normally only exists on expensive hardware RAID cards). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.8 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
