because some filesystem can be already mounted.. while the first option do a mount (supposing they are not mounted) the second one suppose that it isn't. Unfortunately after i made a test i discover that if the partition is not mounted and u use the remount option, it isn't mounted.. i'll try to find a way to circumvent this. >>> >> >>>The Debian NEWS is confusing.
