Colin, about point 4 above, are you sure I should add the sync options
to the loopfile mount?

I would have thought that I should have had sync & co for the host
filesystem (ntfs) but not for the nested one (ext3 in loopfile). The
idea being that the data should hit the metal when the nested fs syncs,
so it is the host fs that has to avoid caching. Caching in the nested fs
is not necessarily a bad thing.
