Sure. ;) But I think you missed the point: The `--volatile' options makes newly created nodes "volatile". That is, they won't get synced to the tarball when asking the translator to go away. :) The point is that you usually don't want the modifications to be saved unless you explicitely ask it by running "syncfs" -- the same happens with text editors or any other app: changes get saved *only* if you ask it.
