All the drivers default to FSYNC_SAFE? Maybe the Java one didn't get the memo. It's set to ACKNOWLEDGED by default.

I like Mongo. And until I really learned about it, I got bitten by the default a few times. Personally I use REPLICA_ACKNOWLEDGED when running in a cluster and FSYNC when writing to a single node.

At the time when the big uproar of the lack of fsyncing by default the Java driver had it set as FSYNC_SAFE (there was no ACKNOWLEDGED).
