"none" tells to "mount" command , to not read to a device(superblock number) , which in swap and supermount case is not needed to read. > Should I be using 'supermount' ? > If "umask=0" sets things to 777 then why is "user" also included ? > And the real confusing one ~ In the same line of syntax I see 'auto' ~ > 'noauto' ~ 'exec' ? Should this not be 'auto' ~ 'noexec' and 'noauto' > removed to allow PnP with Linux ? first "auto" statement is related to filesystem-type stuff, "noauto(auto)" is a "mount "command parameter ,means that device will not be mounted at boot time (or when mount -a is called) , but device only be mounted explicitly (on the command line for example) "noexec(exec)" is a "mount "command parameter, Do not allow execution of any binaries on the mounted file system.
