Hi,
If I have the WAL pointing to a different disk that the main postgres
database, and that other disk crashes (say writing to it blocks) what will
postgres do ? Will it continue to write OK to the main database, or will the
whole thing crash ? or hang waiting for the WAL writes to finish ?

Thanks.
