I was just sticking with the original format, but making it sensible!
Clearly it would generally make sense to mount the fielsystem under
something like /mnt/msdos rather than /mnt but that isn't crucial to the
mount working. 'dev' might not be overly useful, agreed. Ditto 'suid'.
Again, 'user' would be good - the fewer commands one types as root, the
fewer screw-ups you tend to end up with. However, if this file system is
being mounted on boot then 'user' probably isn't needed.
