checkpoint_segments<br>
Maximum distance between automatic WAL checkpoints, in log file
segments (each segment is normally 16 megabytes).<br>
<br>
Increase these settings if your database has lots of large batch writes
to decrease the frequency of checkpoints (and thus lower disk
activity). Decrease them if you are short on disk space or your
environment has a significant risk of <u><b>unexpected power-outs, as
any un-checkpointed transactions will dropped on restart.</b></u><br>

Could you be a little more specific as to which sections conflict?
