<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="SYNCALWAYS"/>sync always (S)</term>
		<listitem><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>
		
		<para>See also the <link linkend="STRICTSYNC"><parameter moreinfo="none">strict 
		sync</parameter></link> parameter.</para>
