AFAIK "mount -s" is just for that case:
- man mount -
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than failing. This will
ignore mount options not supported by a filesystem type. Not all
filesystems support this option. This option exists for support of the
Linux autofs-based automounter.
- man mount -
