This confirms what you are saying, but is still a bit disappointing. Since I'm mounting this zvol with NFS, it's probably not a good idea to leave sync disabled despite how attractive the increase disk speeds might be. Perhaps I will look into hosting my zvols in a SmartOS smartmachine configured with Samba that authenticates against my Centos domain controller. I do plan to see if a write optimized SSD will help my situation before move to the Samba smartmachines.
