Yes.

Reading urgings from some of the NFS authors ...
Also, for a while we were using an app that had a shared data base
base on NFS store. Async concerned me in that scenario. That has also
ended.

I don't understand. I've resolved the situation, as I said.
But I still don't understand why the sync option caused such a

or investigation are required to answer that question, I'd love to
know what they are so they can be provided.
