Before you start hitting me - I can't provide 5.3 output or logs
because I've reinstalled 4.8 on the same memstick, so everything's
lost. I simply need a working system and I won't have time to give
SlugOS 5.3 another try until next weekend (provided I'll find all the
necessary information about Samba in advance). Nevertheless, I'll try
my best to answer.

That's the default when udev mounts the device.
The only option I set in fstab was "defaults", so if "sync" is a
default, the answer is yes.

The first device is a Medion 250GB HDD. dmesg says: WDC WD25
00JB-55GVA0 08.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0. There's a single ext3 partition
on it.
The second device is a Toshiba 1TB HDD. dmesg: TOSHIBA USB
3.5"-HDD 100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2. There's a single ext2 partition on
it.

Oops, I didn't know that. Automount is fine with me as long as
filesystems end up in the same place every time. If not, my scripts
might cause severe damage.

I think I got that one right - I followed
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowToUseInternationalCharactersOnOpenSlug.
With German characters like ä, ö, ü and ß, that's a must I was aware of.

I might...
I've just read your second reply. I agree that there may have been a
mistake in my setup - most likely in connection with mounting the
drives. NFS itself can hardly be misconfigured - /etc/exports isn't
that hard and it should be the same for both SlugOS 4.8 and 5.3.
