This is not a reinterpretation, but rather completely new semantics that differ from existing documentation on a variety of UNIX and UNIX-like systems, including Fedora itself: Fedora: "‘‘noauto’’ (do not mount when "mount -a" is given, e.g., boot time)" FreeBSD: "If the option ``noauto'' is specified, the file system will not be automatically mounted at system startup." OpenBSD and Mac OS X: "The option ``auto'' can be used in the ``noauto'' form to cause a file system not to be mounted automatically (with mount -A or mount -a, or at system boot time)." Please implement noauto as documented and assign these new semantics to another option. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
