NFS should always be 'sync' if performance isn't good, then your storage isn't good.
Why demand sync on remote storage when you typically don't have it locally? Programs that need transactional integrity should know when to fsync () and for anything else there's not much difference whether you crash before or after a write() was issued in terms of it not completing.
Yes, but 'async' ignores those fsyncs and returns immediately.
