A comment on How Postgres Makes Transactions Atomic. Parent comment
- PG only added checksums in 9.3
- his disks or RAID controller could be shit or he could be using some 'very cool' filesystem
- Some people turn off PG settings for performance that really shouldn't be turned off
- Some people think ECC ram isn't worth the money
- or overclock their CPU on anything other than a gaming machine
Usually it's shit hardware
