The system failed one of my regression tests, so I wanted the problem fixed ASAP. If you take a look at ffs_vnops.c, at the bottom of the fsync, it appears that there is no wait. Don't have time to debug that part of the code, so have at it. There are still possibilities of problems without my mods, so they should stay in.
