Subject: Remove reference to default wal_buffers being 8
X-Git-Tag: REL9_1_5~42
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=119027ec8b8d02c8d70e4916df1b41cde78f674d;p=postgresql

Remove reference to default wal_buffers being 8

This hasn't been true since 9.1, when the default was changed to -1.
Remove the reference completely, keeping the discussion of the parameter
and it's shared memory effects on the config page.
