Though I'm still waiting for an explanation of WHY exactly I have async writes on a sync partition. Nobody yet has said anything but 'that's interesting...'. A direction to look would be helpful.
You get a synchronous mount by passing MNT_SYNCHRONOUS to mount(2). Within the kernel, MNT_SYNCHRONOUS is used (basically only) within kern/vfs_vnops.c:vn_write(). There it adds IO_SYNC to the write request (the same as if the file has O_FSYNC enabled). IO_SYNC will be ignored if MNT_ASYNC is specified (which it isn't here). The write request goes through ufs/ufs/ufs_readwrite.c:WRITE(), which passes it to bwrite() if it's IO_SYNC.
Inode access time updates (controlled by MNT_NOATIME, which becomes ~IN_ACCESS, which becomes IN_MODIFIED) don't go through vn_write() and wind up in bdwrite().
As far as I can tell, the net effect is that inode access time updates will remain async writes into the filesystem.
An easy way to tell would be to use NOATIME and see if you're still getting async writes. (Or any writes at all).
