This patch fixes the mount problem with sync, but we're left with the
other std mount options (such as [no]atime) not working.  But I get your
point regarding options.  I think the moral is I should eliminate
noatime, sync, and nosymfollow from the list of common mount options for
HAL to use.

Understood, thanks.
