Which I agree with the concept of noauto, we need that ``flexibility'', it is just that the particular implementation has a little to be disired as it mucks with the kernel interface files and it should not have. I'll conceded the point on noauto vs noall, letting all the other unix's who have misnamed this option take precedence simply in the name of compatibility. > How in the dickens did > we get off in the tangent about modifying rc now?? Some one feels that failing non-ufs mounts should be made non-fatal, I disagree as it may be critical to some (and I am one of them, but far from an ``exception'') that nfs, cd9660, lfs or other non-ufs file systems are critical to system operation. I countered with a ``flexibility'' option by adding a few more knobs, while preserveing the current defaults. We ``got off in the tangent'' as one of the reasons the noauto option was added to fstab in its current form was because you and others did not like /etc/rc dropping to single user because it failed to mount at boot time.
