Found the root issue here I believe in /etc/rc.sysinit

if [ "${RHGB_STARTED}" != "0" -a -w /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console ]; then
                fsck -T -t noopts=_netdev -A $fsckoptions >
/etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console
        else
                fsck -T -t noopts=_netdev -A $fsckoptions
        fi

It scans all file systems by default unless the _netdev option
is set, whereas in CentOS 4.x it ONLY scans the root file system

        if [ "${RHGB_STARTED}" != "0" -a -w /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console ]; then
                fsck -T -a $rootdev $fsckoptions > /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console
        else
                initlog -c "fsck -T -a $rootdev $fsckoptions"
        fi


I'll think about filing a bug/feature request I think the 'noauto'
option should be included in the exclusion list.

Perhaps fsck should be fixed as well, according to the manpage
'noauto' means it won't get mounted when you do mount -a, perhaps
it should not get fsck'd either if you do fsck -A
