@brief ignore logfile errors when opening logfiles
--wal.ignore-logfile-errors
Ignores any recovery errors caused by corrupted logfiles on startup. When set to false, the recovery procedure on startup will fail with an error whenever it encounters a corrupted (that includes only half-written) logfile. This is a security precaution to prevent data loss in case of disk errors etc. When the recovery procedure aborts because of corruption, any corrupted files can be inspected and fixed (or removed) manually and the server can be restarted afterwards.
Setting the option to true will make the server continue with the recovery procedure even in case it detects corrupt logfile entries. In this case it will stop at the first corrupted logfile entry and ignore all others, which might cause data loss.
