Description Robin Hack 2013-12-10 09:50:50 UTC 
-a, --all
              Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab.

It's sound like I'm able to mount everything without any additional options.

But later in section FILESYSTEM INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS:
       auto   Can be mounted with the -a option.

       noauto Can only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the  -a  option  will  not
              cause the filesystem to be mounted).


Well. -a needs to have auto enabled in fstab.

Maybe some hint in -a parameter description will be good.

Fixed in upstream tree (commit 31e93a55be6d292427f259de2e9b40bed0050a88).

I guess it's not so critical bug that we can wait for the next util-linux Fedora rpm upgrade.  Thanks!
