They claim to have both done:

 tunefs -n enable /
 tunefs -n enable /usr
 tunefs -n enable /var

And:
 in /etc/fstab
Add to options for all hard disk file systems ",async":

Given this, which takes precedence? Or am I mis-understanding?

I think of the three options as sync, async, and softupdates. If you
turn async AND softupdates on, what is really happening?
