nocase -- This was deprecated for vfat. Use shortname=win95 instead.

showexec -- If set, the execute permission bits of the file will be
allowed only if the extension part of the name is .EXE,
.COM, or .BAT. Not set by default.

sys_immutable -- If set, ATTR_SYS attribute on FAT is handled as
IMMUTABLE flag on Linux. Not set by default.

flush -- If set, the filesystem will try to flush to disk more
early than normal. Not set by default.
