There is no such keyword in a fstab file.
Obvious PEBKAC here, blindly putting mount(1) options into fstab(5).
The error message from mount is tricky though, getfsspec(3) which is
used by mount just silently ignores the line.
All entries in the file with a type field equivalent to FSTAB_XX
are
ignored. Lines which are formatted incorrectly are silently
ignored.
So "formatted incorrectly" includes invalid options.
Could this be improved somehow by changing getfsspec() behaviour to
report the issue to the caller? Or by expanding the manpage a bit?
I guess making mount/fstab more consistent by using the same name for
rdonly/ro is a compatibility can of worms.
