Yeah, we're going to examine all of the data and see which should be
mounted with which special options. Some stuff will be mounted 'sync' to
reduce the chance of data loss in the event of power failure or system
crash, neither of which should happen, but better safe than sorry.
A cool thing in Linux is that directory trees (or even individual files)
can have these attributes toggled. That way, we can be more fine-grained
with these options to get the best performance/data security balance.
