That's what I'd been thinking, too. Because of your question, I just tried a search for... "defaults,rw" /etc/fstab Some things pulled up from varying resources out there. Without actually visiting any of the results, sometimes they just said the above. Other times, they would have "defaults,rw" with a few of the various remaining options tacked on the end of that, as well.
