These options are covered in mount(8), so there's no need to repeat them here. Also update mount(8): * Add the text linking (no)auto to boot time, which was previously documented only in fstab(5). * Document comment=, previously documented only in fstab(5), borrowing language from the current mount(8) X-* entry. * Use bold (instead of quotes) for X- in the X-* entry.
