Does ext4 support the sync mount option?
A couple of times stumbled upon the statement
Some Linux filesystems don't support -o sync and -o dirsync (the ext2, ext3, fat and vfat filesystems do support synchronous updates (a la BSD) when mounted with the sync option).well
Note:source
Keep in mind that not every file system supports all options.
For example, the sync option is currently only supported by ext2, ext3, fat, vfat and ufs file systems.

Some of these options are only useful when they appear in the /etc/fstab file.
Some of these options could be enabled or disabled by default in the system kernel. To check the current setting
see the options in /proc/mounts. Note that filesystems also have per-filesystem specific default mount options (see
for example tune2fs -l output for extN filesystems).
The following options apply to any filesystem that is being mounted (but not every filesystem actually honors them –
e.g., the sync option today has an effect only for ext2, ext3, fat, vfat and ufs):
