Wait, are you sure? I thought it was just for user mountable filesystems.

Totally agree, it's a lifesaver for automating mounts!

D is correct! It mounts filesystems from /etc/fstab with auto option.

I thought it just showed mounted filesystems, not mounted them.

I’m pretty confident that `mount -a` mounts filesystems listed in `/etc/fstab` with the "auto" option, so I’d go with D.

I feel like it might be option D, but I can't recall if it only mounts those with the "auto" option or if it does something else too.

I remember practicing a question about mounting filesystems, and I think `mount -a` specifically deals with the `/etc/fstab` file.

I think the command `mount -a` is related to mounting filesystems, but I'm not sure if it mounts all or just specific ones.
