I definitely remember that mount -a is used to mount file systems, but I can't remember if it includes all options or just the auto ones.

The mount -a command mounts all file systems listed in /etc/fstab, regardless of their mount options. That's the safest approach to ensure everything gets mounted.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Is it the "noauto" option or the "auto" option that gets mounted with mount -a? I better double-check that.
