thanks, Keith.
But I don't think that's what I want. I want it to mount when the system
boots, but if for some reason it is not powered on, I don't want it to
hang up the whole boot process.
noauto says it won't mount based on "mount -a", and AFAIK that's how
the filesystems from fstab all get mounted at boot. No?
