>Description:
The -p option in mount(8) enables fstab_style, which is supposed
to print mount information in fstab(5) format.

If a mounted file system does not have any options specified
(MNT_NOEXEC, MNT_NOSUID) then the default "rw" option is printed.

However, if any of the MNT_* flags is present (MNT_RDONLY aside)
the "rw" option is skipped. If the output is used in an actual fstab
file, output similar to the following will occur during mounts, and
the corresponding mounts would fail:

fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format
fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format
mount: /storage: unknown special file or file system

>How-To-Repeat:
# mount -p
/dev/ad0s1a		/			ufs	noatime		1 1
/dev/ad0s1d		/var			ufs	noatime		2 2
/dev/ad0s1e		/usr			ufs	noatime		2 2
/dev/ad2s1f		/storage		ufs	noatime		2 2

The problem may be repeated by temporarily removing "rw" from any
non essential filesystem and trying to umount/mount it.

>Fix:

The following patch to src/sbin/mount/mount.c 1.96.2.3 (RELENG_7)
changes flags2opts to consider "rw" the opposite of "ro", even if
other options are defined.

The original check for NULL options is removed, since flags2opts
now always adds at least "rw" or "ro" to the option string.
