>Description:
It's possible to specify ``-s1g'' for instance as an option (apparently also -s=1g) but I don't know how I came across this knowledge.  It, unfortunatly, wasn't from the fstab man page.

Part of the confusion comes from the man page using the word ``option'' and, for the mount command ``option'' applies to just the ``-o family''.

Suggest including an example and a note explaing this.
