SUID bit from taking effect (by using the nodev, noexec, and nosuid
flags). Files ystems can also be mounted read-only with the ro option.

the -o flag. For example, if you have a separate partition for /tmp that is on
the third partition of your first IDE hard disk, you can mount with the
nodev, noexec, and nosuid flags, which are enabled by running the following
