I think so. I run my NetBSD box this way, and it's pretty obvious
sometimes that it's async. For example, copy a big directory of lots
of files (like /usr/src/) to somewhere, sync it and let it settle,
then rm -rf it. It should finish really quickly, then a burst of disk
activity when sync time comes.
I'll also note that I haven't had any reliability problems running
async. Of course, I don't crash a lot, but I suspect most people
don't.
