Bug reference: 15659
Logged by: Thomas Poty
Email address: thomas(dot)poty(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 10.7
Operating system: CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
Description:

In postgresql.conf, the mention of a required restart is missing for
"data_sync_retry" parameter :
- in the $PGDATA/postgresql.conf after an initdb
- in /usr/pgsql-10/share/postgresql.conf.sample

What I get :

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ERROR HANDLING
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#exit_on_error = off # terminate session on any error?
#restart_after_crash = on # reinitialize after backend crash?
#data_sync_retry = off # retry or panic on failure to fsync data?

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I should have :

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ERROR HANDLING
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#exit_on_error = off # terminate session on any error?
#restart_after_crash = on # reinitialize after backend crash?
#data_sync_retry = off # retry or panic on failure to fsync data?
# (change requires restart)
