From beb671ab535efe3a549298a4f68423131d36edf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jkoshy Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 05:22:08 +0000 Subject: 1. Enhanced syntax for mount(8). The -o option now supports two 'meta' options: -o fstab brings in filesystem options specified in /etc/fstab -o current incorporates the current set of options for the file system The rightmost option wins in the case of conflicting options being specified. E.g.:- # mount -u -o current,nosuid /home will preserve the current mount options while adding the 'nosuid' flag. 2. Rewording of manual page to be hopefully clearer; small -Wall cleanups. Thanks to David Malone for his patience and willingness to work multiple patches on request.
