Not that I know of. But it shouldn't be too hard to make a script that
reads /proc/mounts and generates one. You may have to do the mount options
manually, though, because /proc/mounts only lists "rw" for mine when what I
really want is "defaults". Also, on an i686 box where most of my
filesystems have the "noatime" option set, that does not show up in
/proc/mounts. You may need to handle some of the special filesystems, like
shmfs, differently. Lastly, you will probably have to set the last two
fields (fs_freq and fs_passno) based on the device pathname. Make them "1
1" if the pathname is "/", "1 2" if it starts with "/dev", and "0 0" for
anything else.
