remount a drive

[Keith Smith]

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.
