FreeBSD has had a "noauto" option for a few months now. RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sbin/mount/mount.c,v ... revision 1.8 date: 1995/08/26 05:39:53; author: davidg; state: Exp; lines: +4 -5 The changes for adding the "noauto" option were mostly wrong. MNT_NOAUTO is a kernel flag, and the kernel definately doesn't need to know about it. ---------------------------- revision 1.7 date: 1995/08/23 12:59:27; author: jkh; state: Exp; lines: +6 -3 Add a "noauto" flag so that you can do things like prevent your system from not coming up multiuser just because you have a CD mount in fstab but no CD in the drive.
