 Set driver specific options.
+For the default driver, `local`, this allows a volume to be configured to mount a filesystem on the host.
+For the `local` driver the following options are supported: `type`, `device`, and `o`.
+The `type` option sets the type of the filesystem to be mounted, and is equivalent to the `-t` flag to **mount(8)**.
+The `device` option sets the device to be mounted, and is equivalent to the `device` argument to **mount(8)**.
+The `o` option sets options for the mount, and is equivalent to the `-o` flag to **mount(8)** with two exceptions.
+The `o` option supports `uid` and `gid` options to set the UID and GID of the created volume that are not normally supported by **mount(8)**.
+Using volume options with the `local` driver requires root privileges.
