É o comportamento correto.
Você usa o sinal -f , que significa:
-f,--fake: Causes everything to be done except for the actual system call; if it's not obvious, this ''fakes'' mounting the filesystem. This option is useful in conjunction with the-vflag to determine what the mount command is trying to do. It can also be used to add entries for devices that were mounted earlier with the-noption. The-foption checks for an existing record in/etc/mtaband fails when the record already exists (with a regular non- fake mount, this check is done by the kernel).
