Research direction

Review the initdb handling in the common.sh scripts and compare it with PostgreSQL 9.3's data-checksum support described in the linked PostgreSQL documentation. Determine whether checksums should be enabled by default or exposed through an environment variable, and verify that the selected behavior works across the supported container images.

Description

easyfix

Added in PostgreSQL 9.3 (https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What%27s_new_in_PostgreSQL_9.3#Data_Checksums) it seems that this would be a sane default for initdb in common.sh scripts, or at least an env variable tunable, what do you guys think?
