disk/kfs updates most metadata synchronously (look
for localfs and Bimm), which
might be why some people complain about its performance.
the file server kernel is (just) slightly more relaxed about it.
that reduces the scrambling, but doesn't ensure that
the data blocks from the last file you wrote have been
written out, hence the need to sync.
