I don't find any mention of contradiction in the 15.4 mount man page. String "ontradict" is completely absent. Where do you find it? My reading is that any valid included option overrides any conflicting existing default, thus making inclusion of "defaults" inert litter:
I also said "or not" :-)
"any valid included option overrides any conflicting existing default" - same as any valid included option overrides any contradicting existing default, ie, contradictions can exist, just that they are resolved.
There's nothing "defaults" can do except make an fstab valid. The defaults are the defaults. They exist at the outset. They can only be accepted, or overridden. Including it can't add any option. Including it can't undo, remove or reverse any option, or resolve any conflict among explicit options and/or defaults. It's an inert placeholder, a dummy. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
