Here's the full information (if anyone cares):

       async  This option allows the NFS server to violate  the  NFS  protocol
              and  reply  to  requests before any changes made by that request
              have been committed to stable storage (e.g. disc drive).

              Using this option usually improves performance, but at the  cost
              that  an unclean server restart (i.e. a crash) can cause data to
              be lost or corrupted.

              In releases of nfs�utils upto and including 1.0.0,  this  option
              was  the  default.   In  this  and  future releases, sync is the
              default, and async must be explicit  requested  if  needed.   To
              help  make system adminstrators aware of this change, �exportfs�
              will issue a warning if neither sync nor async is specified.

Should we stick with 'async', or be safe and use 'sync'?

This could have a performance impact.  If I remember right, previous
implementations assumed async, which tends to give better performance,
but is not as conservative.

We should probably choose one and explicitly state it in the config file.

See "man exports" for details.
