+Controls the behavior of synchronous requests (e.g. fsync, O_DSYNC).
+\fBdefault\fR is the POSIX specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous
+requests are written to stable storage and all devices are flushed to ensure
+data is not cached by device controllers (this is the default). \fBalways\fR
+causes every file system transaction to be written and flushed before its
+system call returns. This has a large performance penalty. \fBdisabled\fR
+disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
+stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
+However, it is very dangerous as ZFS would be ignoring the synchronous
+transaction demands of applications such as databases or NFS. Administrators
+should only use this option when the risks are understood.
