6 <para>This is a boolean parameter that controls
7 whether writes will always be written to stable storage before

9 guided by the client's request in each write call (clients can
10 set a bit indicating that a particular write should be synchronous).
11 If this is <constant>yes</constant> then every write will be followed by a <command moreinfo="none">fsync()
12 </command> call to ensure the data is written to disk. Note that
13 the <parameter moreinfo="none">strict sync</parameter> parameter must be set to
14 <constant>yes</constant> in order for this parameter to have
