Hi!

As far as i know, you should use binary mounts when using binary (Unix) texts.
And non-binary mounts when using non-binary texts.

That's probably a simplistic idea, but in my experience, some programs --
particularly make -- crash when they find a non-binary (DOS) text file in a
mount where it expects binary (Unix) text files.
