Message-ID: <akJDHRtXwGLTppsQ@msg.df7cb.de> (raw)
The docs currently don't say what wal_compression=on is, so here is a
patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Document wal_compression=on
This was not included when lz4 support was added in
4035cd5d4eee4dae797bfc77ab07f8dcd8781b41, but since the value is still
legal and even mentioned in postgresql.conf.sample, it should be
documented.
