"All data for permanent relations files will be flushed to disk, dirty
buffers of unlogged relations are not flushed unless
<literal>FLUSH_UNLOGGED</literal> is specified."

This doesn't quite read right.

"permanent relations files" should be "permanent relation files"

and the sentence looks like it should end after "flushed to disk",
with "Dirty buffers" being the start of a new sentence.

Regards
