Hmm, it really should be somewhere. Looks like the source
code is it on Linux now. From the Irix man page:

     wsync     All operations that modify the filesystem are synchronous
               except for writes to user files (e.g. create, unlink, mv,
               truncate, etc.).  This option can be used in conjunction with
               exporting a filesystem -wsync to obtain NFS write-synchronous
               semantics, if so desired.  See exports(4) for further
               information.
