The directory is probably usually empty. It is where you are expected to
put your rules. For example, to make sure some specific usb memory
sticks are mounted without 'sync':

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!-- disable sync for mount -->
<match key="block.is_volume" bool="true">
<match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">
<match key="volume.uuid" string="4473-3FFD">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
