Well, as I said in my post, it's mostly my feeling only... I clearly
understand your point, as I thought myself it doesn't make sense at
all for the mount command to fail when asynchronous and succeed when
synchronous.
I think I can run some extra testing on it; I'll get a svn copy and
build it with different options. Could you tell me what file I should
modify to switch between sync and async ?
