Don't enable fsync in src/test/recovery/t/008_fsm_truncation.pl.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit a7f4171071bb · 2022-01-19T12:36:49.000-05:00
In adverse circumstances, the fsync calls cause this test to run for quite a long time (multiple minutes) and even suffer timeout failures. This seems to date from before we made an effort to disable fsync in all our test cases; there's not a lot of point in using it if there's not a plan to force an O/S crash during the test.
