man mount search for remount don't be lazy
I went through it. It has many options and an important point was that when a mount command is given, it looks up the fstab and mounts it accordingly. So I have to simply give 'mount mount_point' or 'umount mount_point' as user. Another thing that initially got me confused was that even if the partition was unmounted, when I clicked on its desktop shortcut, it would show files as if it was mounted. After some investigation it was noticed that on clicking the icon, it was mounting the partition automatically. So the entire exercise was restricted to command line only and everything was correctly displayed.
