fstab is not the source of information for whether something is mounted or not. fstab is read by mount at boot time to know which drives to mount and how and where to mount them. It might also be read when you try to mount something later, but as you have noted, you can edit fstab all you want and if you don't then mount/remount the drives their mount status will not be changed by your edits.
BIll, The issue I have with writing an .iso to a DVD-R disk is the tools see the optical drive as read only; not writable. The optical drive is not mounted. Regards, Rich
