I'm trying to spec out a new system that looks like it might be very sensitive to sync vs async writes. However, after some research and investigation I've come to realize that I don't think I understand a/sync as well as I thought I did and might be confused about some of the fundamentals. Can someone point me to a good "newbie's guide" that explains sync vs async from the ground up? one that makes no assumptions about prior knowledge of filesystems and IO. And likewise, another guide specifically for how they relate to zfs pool/vdev configuration? Thanks in advance.
