Package: mount
Version: 2.12p-4
Severity: wishlist

After making a typo in /etc/fstab and forgetting to check that it
worked, I was left with a system that would not mount / (the only
partition in the system) read-write, due to invalid options in its fstab
entry. I found that there is no (documented) way to force mount to pay
no attention to fstab, which was inconvenient. It would be nice if such
an option existed.

(I am aware that, without a patch, this is a fairly empty request.)
