I use samba to share my FreeBSD filesystems to Win32 machines. That means I can copy files to my Unix machine and vice versa without any problems. I can found a Win32 share from my FreeBSD machine as if it was a NFS or local filesystem. Very handy, indeed!

vfs_syncops
VFS_SYNCOPS(8) System Administration tools VFS_SYNCOPS(8)
NAME
vfs_syncops - Ensure meta data operations are performed synchronously.
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = syncops
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
Some filesystems (even some journaled filesystems) require that a fsync() be performed on many meta data operations to ensure that the
operation is guaranteed to remain in the filesystem after a power failure. This is particularly important for some cluster filesystems
which are participating in a node failover system with clustered Samba. On those filesystems the vfs_syncops VFS module provides a way to
perform those operations safely.
This module is stackable.
CONFIGURATION
Most of the performance loss with the vfs_syncops VFS module is in fsync on close(). You can disable that with syncops:onclose = no that
can be set either globally or per share.
On certain filesystems that only require the last data written to be fsync()'ed, you can disable the metadata synchronization of this
module with syncops:onmeta = no. This option can be set either globally or per share.
The vfs_syncops VFS module can also be disabled completely for a share with syncops:disable = true.
EXAMPLES
Add syncops functionality for [share]:
[share]
path = /data/share
vfs objects = syncops
syncops:onclose = no
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.1.0 of the Samba suite.
