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 `o` option sets options for the mount, and is equivalent to the `-o` flag to **mount(8)** with two exceptions.
