That I'm not sure of.  I am trying to come up with a set of common mount
options for auto-mounting in HAL.  What worked in RELENG_6 does not work
in -CURRENT, so I want to make sure I have a good intersection of
supported options.

This patch will definitely work for sync (though maybe sync should be
moved to msdosfs_opts in msdosfs_vfsops.c).  What I'm also seeing is
options like atime are also not supported.  My real question was since
mount_msdosfs.c says this:

static struct mntopt mopts[] = {
        MOPT_STDOPTS,
        MOPT_FORCE,
        MOPT_SYNC,
        MOPT_UPDATE,
        MOPT_END
};


Should its kernel backend not support all of those options as well?  Or
perhaps global_opts in vfs_mount.c should be updated to support all
MNT_STDOPTS options since mntopts.h says that these are options all
mounts can understand?  Thanks for the follow up.
