For that I would need root access. With the system `mount` command I can 
include "user" in /etc/fstab.

With the system `mount` command and with the proper line in /etc/fstab I 
need only say
	mount ./gmx-file-storage/
when I want to get my online drive. With mount.davfs I need the entire 
command line (well, I know, I can use an alias...).

And many mount helpers are not meant to be invoked directly. Not sure 
why, but they even say so in the --usage message. Never checked if 
mount.davfs says the same, but I would prefer the user-level `mount` 
command anyway.

Thank you,
