if I choose to not use fstab, I will not use mount /foo/bar |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Why will I do that? |
| 35 |
For example, I can put passwords in different ACL. |
| 36 |
I can add logic, for example dynamic mount point. |
| 37 |
This is why using netifrc like configuration is so great. |

I can choose to use fstab, then I lost all these goodies but can do |
| 40 |
mount /foo/bar... |
