the filesystem is already mounted.
This behavior is the default for --all; otherwise, it depends on the
kernel filesystem driver. Some filesystems may be mounted more than
once on the same mount point (e.g. tmpfs).
--options-mode mode
Controls how to combine options from fstab/mtab with options from
the command line. mode can be one of ignore, append, prepend or
replace. For example, append means that options from fstab are
appended to options from the command line. The default value is
prepend — it means command line options are evaluated after fstab
options. Note that the last option wins if there are conflicting
ones.
--options-source source
Source of default options. source is a comma-separated list of
fstab, mtab and disable. disable disables fstab and mtab and enables
--options-source-force. The default value is fstab,mtab.
--options-source-force
Use options from fstab/mtab even if both device and dir are
specified.
-R, --rbind
Remount a subtree and all possible submounts somewhere else (so that
its contents are available in both places). See above, the
subsection Bind mount operation.
-r, --read-only
Mount the filesystem read-only. A synonym is -o ro.
Note that, depending on the filesystem type, state and kernel
behavior, the system may still write to the device. For example,
ext3 and ext4 will replay the journal if the filesystem is dirty. To
prevent this kind of write access, you may want to mount an ext3 or
ext4 filesystem with the ro,noload mount options or set the block
device itself to read-only mode, see the blockdev(8) command.
-s
Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than failing. This will ignore
mount options not supported by a filesystem type. Not all
filesystems support this option. Currently it’s supported by the
mount.nfs mount helper only.
--source device
If only one argument for the mount command is given, then the
argument might be interpreted as the target (mountpoint) or source
(device). This option allows you to explicitly define that the
argument is the mount source.
--target directory
If only one argument for the mount command is given, then the
argument might be interpreted as the target (mountpoint) or source
(device). This option allows you to explicitly define that the
argument is the mount target.
--target-prefix directory
Prepend the specified directory to all mount targets. This option
can be used to follow fstab, but mount operations are done in
another place, for example:
mount --all --target-prefix /chroot -o X-mount.mkdir
mounts all from system fstab to /chroot, all missing mountpoint are
created (due to X-mount.mkdir). See also --fstab to use an
alternative fstab.
-T, --fstab path
Specifies an alternative fstab file. If path is a directory, then
the files in the directory are sorted by strverscmp(3); files that
start with "." or without an .fstab extension are ignored. The
option can be specified more than once. This option is mostly
designed for initramfs or chroot scripts where additional
configuration is specified beyond standard system configuration.
Note that mount does not pass the option --fstab to the
/sbin/mount.type helpers, meaning that the alternative fstab files
will be invisible for the helpers. This is no problem for normal
mounts, but user (non-root) mounts always require fstab to verify
the user’s
