Since the addition of fsync requests in bc34223 to make base backup data consistent on disk once pg_basebackup finishes, each tablespace tar file is individually flushed once completed, with an additional flush of the parent directory when the base backup finishes. While holding a connection to the server, a fsync request taking a long time may cause a failure of the base backup, which is annoying for any integration. A recent example of breakage can involve tcp_user_timeout, but wal_sender_timeout can cause similar problems. While reviewing the code, there was a second issue causing too many fsync requests to be done for the same WAL data. As recursive fsyncs are done at the end of the backup for both the plain and tar formats from the base target directory where everything is written, it is fine to disable fsyncs when fetching or streaming WAL.
