=item B<--dir-cache-timeout N>
Set the readdir cache timeout to I<N> seconds, the default being 60

+=item B<--mount dev[:mountpoint[:options]]>
Mount the named partition or logical volume on the given mountpoint
B<in the guest> (this has nothing to do with mountpoints in the host).
If the mountpoint is omitted, it defaults to C</>. You have to mount
something on C</>.
+The third (and rarely used) part of the mount parameter is the list of
+mount options used to mount the underlying filesystem. If this is not
+given, then the mount options are either the empty string or C<ro>
+(the latter if the I<--ro> flag is used). By specifying the mount
+options, you override this default choice. Probably the only time you
+would use this is to enable ACLs and/or extended attributes if the
+filesystem can support them:
+
+ -m /dev/sda1:/:acl,user_xattr

-This option does nothing at the moment.
+This changes the I<-a>, I<-d> and I<-m> options so that disks are
