+ <para>This is a boolean parameter that controls
+ whether writes will always be written to stable storage before
+ the write call returns. If this is <constant>no</constant> then the server will be
+ guided by the client's request in each write call (clients can
+ set a bit indicating that a particular write should be synchronous).
+ If this is <constant>yes</constant> then every write will be followed by a <command moreinfo="none">fsync()
+ </command> call to ensure the data is written to disk. Note that
+ the <parameter moreinfo="none">strict sync</parameter> parameter must be set to
+ <constant>yes</constant> in order for this parameter to have
+ any affect.</para>
