Yeah, looks like it reads the fstab only.

mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist]

    (usually given in a bootscript) causes all filesystems mentioned in fstab (of the proper type and/or having or not having the proper options) to be mounted as indicated, except for those whose line contains the noauto keyword. Adding the -F option will make mount fork, so that the filesystems are mounted simultaneously.

I just tried 'mount -a' and that didn't do it.

well.... I want to remount the drive w/o opening a terminal. I plug
anexternal drive in and it appears in a filemanager. I then click
the eject button and it umounts. I then realize I forgot to do
something and I don't know what to do except to unplug and plug it
back in or open the terminal and type 'mount -a' (thanks for
teaching me that).

I've been wondering about this for awhile now; when you plug a
device
in a file manager opens and the device auto mounts (or it auto
mounts
and then the device manager opens). You do what you need to and
then
click the eject symbol next to said device and it unmounts. How do
you
mount it again without unplugging it again or opening a terminal?
