&gt; 	o  -Add ability to turn off full page writes
&gt; 	o  When off, write CRC to WAL and check file system blocks
&gt; 	   on recovery
&gt; 	o  Write full pages during file system write and not when
&gt; 	   the page is modified in the buffer cache
&gt;
&gt; 	   This allows most full page writes to happen in the background
&gt; 	   writer.
