TIL that I should always use either current or fstab.
mount -u -o current /
Or
mount -u -o fstab /
And then make modifications from those references.
mount -u -o current,noatime /
Or
mount -u -o fstab,noatime /

I want to think that using -o current and then making modifications to
current seems to be one possible way. But the man page also says,
"When this option [snapshot] is used, all other options are ignored."
So this shouldn't work.
mount -u -o current,snapshot ...
I don't have a system to test this type of snapshot upon.
