As you stated, with Woody async is default, with Sarge sync is default. In the
man pages (an a sarge system), it's stated that
"async This option allows the NFS server to violate the NFS protocol and reply
to requests before any changes made by that request have been committed to
stable storage (e.g. disc drive). Using this option usually improves
performance, but at the cost that an unclean server restart (i.e. a crash) can
cause data to be lost or corrupted."
For me this sounds like the most secure solution is to have sync, and location
that have a knowledge of what they are doing can change this them self.
By not specifying anyting, the new debian-edu-sarge version have been running
with sync as default until now.
For me the bug was posible to close by adding this three words in the cf.homes.
If you think its more correct to have async instead. I have no objections to
that. But we should have one of them.
