Some people told me about sd-card problems. I don't think the problems came from the change, but I decided to enable again.
Disabling fsync will not raise performance that much, so we could keep fsync enabled.
If problems happen I guess keeping it enabled will help to save your data.

Make people love your kernel by adding any features that present kernels can't provide! Just an advice, I'm not ordering!

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][V1.0] Nayak-Kernel [2.6.35.x][GB]

Disabled fsync can give you some filesystem performance gains but can give some data integrity issues. Data can become corrupted when facing a random reboot etc...

At least from what I've read recently. Its a reason why people complain about having sdcard issues in fsync off kernels.

Agreed, as far as I've read it also causes drop in read write speed. And the improvement in performance is not worth the loss in data.
Will disable it next build

Hey, could you fix two common bugs-
1.)White noise on unlocking screen
2.)Camflick bug on overclocking
Ask DJNOxD, he will direct you to the patches
