[1] says...

"libfuse: Add "async_dio" and "writeback_cache" options

Asynchronous direct I/O is supported by linux kernels 3.13 and
later, writeback caching is supported by 3.14 and later."

Here on Ubuntu/precise I have HWE enabled which ships officially
Linux-kernel v3.13.
According to above log I need at least v3.14 for both features.

Not sure if backporting is easy-to-apply for v3.13.

IIRC Debian maintains a 3.16 LTS kernel.

AFAICS libfuse v2.9.6 which is not available in any Ubuntu release [4]
has this change.
I can build with the sources from Debian [5].

Hmm, maybe it's time to switch over to Ubuntu/xenial or a modern Debian system.
