>Description:

	The "-w" flag to mount(8) doesn't work if the filesystem
	is marked with the "ro" option in /etc/fstab.

	It seems like "-w" should override /etc/fstab.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Have an /etc/fstab entry like this:

	  # Device      Mountpoint   FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
	  /dev/ad0s1e   /foo       ufs     ro              1       1

	With the filesystem unmounted, do this:

	  $ mount -w /foo

	The filesystem is mounted read-only instead of read-write.

>Fix:

	$ mount /foo
	$ mount -u /foo
