About improved synchronous writes

VxFS provides superior performance for synchronous write applications. The default mount -o datainlog option greatly improves the performance of small synchronous writes.

The mount -o convosync=dsync option improves the performance of applications that require synchronous data writes but not synchronous inode time updates.

Warning: The use of the -o convosync=dsync option violates POSIX semantics.
