@@ -1333,12 +1333,16 @@ xattrs if the underlying host filesystem supports them, but they must also be
compatible with the guest filesystem (for example most Linux filesystems support
ACLs, while Windows filesystems do not).
-The `expose-acl` option automatically implies `expose-xattr`, that is, it makes
-no difference if you set `expose-xattr` to `0` if `expose-acl` is set to `1`.
-
-If you want virtiofs to honor the `O_DIRECT` flag, you can set the `direct-io`
-parameter to `1` (default: `0`). This will degrade performance, but is useful if
-applications do their own caching.
+All Optional Parameters:

+[cols="1,3,1", options="header"]
+|===
+|Parameter |Description |Default
+|`cache` |Sets caching mode: `always`, `never`, `metadata`, or `auto`. |`auto`
+|`expose-acl` |Enables ACL passthrough; implies `expose-xattr`. Supported only on compatible filesystems. |`0`
+|`expose-xattr` |Enables xattr passthrough; redundant if `expose-acl` is `1`. |`0`
+|`direct-io` |Enables support for the `O_DIRECT` flag. May degrade performance, but is useful if applications perform their own caching. |`0`
