I know this sounds pretty awful, but honestly any file modified

It's pretty much "the unix way" that only fsync'd files/directories

I agree. My intention in doing these benchmarks was to have something
on which I'd base a recommendation for a file server. My conclusion is
that UFS+SU is reliable enough, though not as fast as other file
systems.
