If I want to mount a partition with `sync' option, can I keep `defaults'? I know `defaults' implies `async', but will explicitly specifying `sync' override that?
yup, just like defaults,ro will mount readonly despite the fact that defaults includes the rw option.
sync may not help though, i recently turned it on for the root filesystem then a few days later i had massive fs corruption on it. I don't THINK it was related because after the reinstall i left it async and had it ruined again...
sync will for sure make the fs unbearably slow. Ethan
