_netdev The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system). This device is not a network device (this a SAN not a NAS). To the OS it looks like a normal SCSI attached device, it's /dev/sdb. In the blade there is a HBA (Qlogic) card, and it's connected through FiberChannel. If I understand these terms correctly, it has nothing to do with the network.
