read-only mount
dump core on error
minix-style df

Behave more like the kernel ext4 driver in the following ways: Allows processes owned by other users to access the filesystem. Uses the kernel's permissions checking logic instead of fuse2fs's. Enables setuid and device files. Note that these options can still be overridden (e.g. nosuid ) later.
Use O_DIRECT to access the block device.
Set the disk cache size to this quantity. The quantity may contain the suffixes k, m, or g. By default, the size is 32MB. The size may not be larger than 2GB.
