Package: mount
Version: 2.15.1~rc1-1
Severity: normal
File: /bin/mount
When I (as a mortal user) attempt "mount -f" to determine whether I'm
allowed to mount a filesystem, I get the "mount: only root can do that"
message, even though the relevant fstab line specifies the 'user'
option (and running mount without the "-f" argument succeeds).
So the "-f" argument is no use at all for non-root users.

I don't believe this is a bug. mount -f is for faking entries in
mtab, not testing to see if you are allowed to mount.
