The default mode of ufs filesystems is 'sync'? Yet if I examine the state of the mounted filesystem using the mount command, no indication is given of a filesystems (sync vs. async) state. Yet if I deliberately set the mode to 'sync', mount will now indicate that the filesystems are mounted synchronously. www# mount /dev/sd0a on / (local) /dev/sd0s1f on /usr (local, synchronous) /dev/sd0s1e on /var (local) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/sd1s1e on /home1 (local, synchronous) Why is this? This would seem to indicate the 'sync' is not really the default state of a filesystem (or at least that the sync 'bit' in whatever data structure that represents a mount point isn't normally set).
