I started on this, but I couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't the
right place for these notes. This chapter is about setting up a server,
and the syncfs() notes do apply to the recovery_init_sync_method
configuration parameter, but it also applies to a number of server/client
applications.
I've been looking around, and I haven't found a great place to move this
section to. IMO some of the other appendices have similar amounts of
information (e.g., Date/Time Support, The Source Code Repository, Color
Support), so maybe a dedicated appendix isn't too extreme. Another option
could be to introduce a new section for platform-specific notes, but that
would just make this section even larger for now.
Thoughts?
