However, differences shown by pg_test_fsync might not make any difference in real database throughput, especially since many database servers are not speed\-limited by their transaction logs\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP pg_test_fsync accepts the following command\-line options: .PP \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-filename\fR .RS 4 Specifies the file name to write test data in\&. This file should be in the same file system that the pg_xlog directory is or will be placed in\&. (pg_xlog contains the WAL files\&.) The default is pg_test_fsync\&.out in the current directory\&. .RE .PP \fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-secs\-per\-test\fR .RS 4 Specifies the number of seconds for each test\&. The more time per test, the greater the test\*(Aqs accuracy, but the longer it takes to run\&. The default is 2 seconds, which allows the program to complete in about 30 seconds\&. .RE .PP \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR .RS 4 Print the pg_test_fsync version and exit\&. .RE .PP \fB\-?\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR .RS 4 Show help about pg_test_fsync command line arguments, and exit\&. .RE .SH "AUTHOR" .PP Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian\&.us> .SH "SEE ALSO" \fBpostgres\fR(1)
