  But, but, but... according to "man mount"...

  -o     Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a  comma  sepa-
         rated  string of options.  Some of these options are only useful
         when they appear in the /etc/fstab file.  The following  options
         apply  to  any  file system that is being mounted (but not every
         file system actually honors them - e.g., the sync  option  today
         has effect only for ext2, ext3 and ufs):
