High level comments:
As mentioned in the comments to patch 3, decoupling the mount logic from 
the sync job logic would be desirable for better maintainability and 
possible future extension to other jobs such as prune, verify, garbage 
collection, ecc.

The run on mount flag should be an optional parameter of the sync job 
config, as otherwise per-existing configs are not valid anymore.
Also, clearing the schedule for the sync jobs when the run on mount flag 
is set is not really necessary in my opinion, as a sync job may be 
configured just fine with both.

Further, this still needs a
