async is NOT the opposite of sync.

sync     metadata sync    data sync
normal   metadata sync    data async
async    metadata async   data async

:-

             async      Metadata I/O to the file system should be done
                        asynchronously.  By default, only regular data is
                        read/written asynchronously.

                        This is a dangerous flag to set
