Of course everyone know that fstab stands for "front stab" and opposed to the more common bstab (back stab).

1. auto - implies the CPU will be attacking from the front using an artificial intellegent character, usually based on some D&D like subprocess. This includes subroutines such as slash (/) and backslash(\) or a multiple attack /etc/fstab -OJ. There is an extra option in OS X called iStab which for some reason only works twice.

2. noatime - is the name of an ebayer who sells cutlery which can be used as an option in fstab. See a listing here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=230146644861 (notice the name of the seller).

3. user - this is the default object of fstab (and bstab). Other possibilities include -coworker -boss -postman and -ex (which can include suboptions).
