I did not ask how mount parses a broken fstab. I asked what was
_intended_ with such line in an fstab.
It seems to me that it is undefined how such mountpoints should
(according to fstab () ) be mounted.
Erik can off course choose to mimic current undecoumented behaviour of
mount, but still I believe it is undocumented.
Please if persisting then point to documentation backing up your
arguments.
