i'm always confused about this... you mean turn off data journaling in
the disks that stores the datafiles, right? not in the disks where the
WAL in...
can be more explicit about one or the other?

You can turn off data journally for WAL and non-WAL disks because we
call fsync() when we need data flushed to disk. The problem is that by
default ext3 flushes data to disk for table files during journaling
operation.
What additional text needs to be added?
