-w does, though. Or maybe it's ordering ("-w -ofstab" doesn't work
right, for instance), though that doesn't seem to apply to -o args. I
mount a lot of my filesystems (including /) read-only, but I often
have to write something to 'em. So I just have a pair of scripts:
root% cat ~/bin/rmount ; echo '----' ; cat ~/bin/wmount
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/mount -uofstab -r $*
----
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/mount -uofstab -w $*
