I know, there's no "mount" service, but I forget what it's called right now. How do I unmount everything in fstab and then re-mount it all without rebooting everytime?
Thanks.

Not sure why you want that, but here goes. To unmount/mount everything in fstab, you would use the -a switch to the umount/mount commands. Note that "umount -a" really tries to unmount _everything_, so depending on your partition setup, it's potentially dangerous. Also, if any progs are running that are using files on mounted file systems, you won't be able to unmount them, unless you kill the pids first.
