if I choose to not use fstab, I will not use mount /foo/bar Why will I do that? For example, I can put passwords in different ACL. I can add logic, for example dynamic mount point. This is why using netifrc like configuration is so great. I can choose to use fstab, then I lost all these goodies but can do mount /foo/bar...
