- Are you using an old version of mount? The mount() system call got changed
- slightly in 0.96c (pl1 or pl2, I'm not sure which); it expects to see a
- "magic number" in the upper two bytes of the options arg. If it doesn't see
- this, mount just ignores the options. I doubt that older versions of mount
- send the options in the correct format; get the latest mount sources from
- tsx-11.mit.edu or any other fine ftp site near you. I am going to post a
- fix to mount.c tomorrow that will fix a non-fatal error when mount tries to
- parse the options and there aren't any.
