- It may be useful to adjust this size to control the granularity of
- WAL log shipping or archiving. Also, in databases with a high volume
- of WAL, the sheer number of WAL files per directory can become a
- performance and management problem. Increasing the WAL file size
- will reduce the number of WAL files.
