Postgres fsync off (not needed) with NetApp



All,
  So I thought I'd pose this question:

If I have a pg database attached to a powervault (PV) with just an off-the-shelf SCSI card I generally want fsync on to prevent data corruption in case the PV should loose power. However, if I have it attached to a NetApp that ensures data writes to via the NVRAM can I safely turn fsync off to gain additional performance?

Best Regards,
Dan Gorman
