Enable the following mount options on VM rootfs: btrfs: nobarrier,commit=300,noatime ext4: nobarrier,commit=300,noatime,data=writeback Those are normally not recommended but for distrobuilder, it make sense to have everything copied over as fast as possible and then persisted properly to disk. We don't care about crash consistency/fs recovery when building an image. Signed-off-by: Simon Deziel <simon.deziel@canonical.com>

Enable the following mount options on VM rootfs:
btrfs: nobarrier,commit=300,noatime
ext4: nobarrier,commit=300,noatime,data=writeback
Those are normally not recommended but for distrobuilder, it
make sense to have everything copied over as fast as possible
and then persisted properly to disk. We don't care about crash
consistency/fs recovery when building an image.
I used those options when building my own images (before
distrobuilder what a thing) and they allowed faster copying.
