Description rsmith 2008-11-12 13:40:01 UTC 
	The fstab manual page (and others) imply that only the -o options
	of different mount commands can be used in fstab. Other flags can
	be used as well, but this is not documented.

Fix: Apply one of the following patches to
	/usr/src/share/man/man5/fstab.5. The first patch is against HEAD
	(r1.30), while the second is against 7.1-PRERELEASE (r1.26).
----- patch for fstab.5 (r1.30) -----
----- patch for fstab.5  (r1.26) -----
How-To-Repeat: 	Read fstab(5)

Hi Roland, 

I committed the fix in CURRENT just now.  I used a slightly different 
wording and added .Bd instead of .Dq for the mount options, to avoid 
too-short lines in `man fstab | less'.  If the new text needs a bit of 
improvement, please feel free to send a note.  I'll try to MFC this in 
2-3 days.
