fstab(5):
defaults
use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async.
noauto
do not mount when mount -a is given (e.g., at boot time)
So I assume "auto" is still passed when using "defaults"?
However, nowadays (since +10y?), debugfs etc. tend to no longer be
put in /etc/fstab, but be mounted automatically by some initscript.
