+++ ./hald/hald_conf.h  2004-09-22 23:06:42.000000000 +0100
+       /** If true, then the behaviour of hald matches the use of
+        *  autofs (automount - /etc/auto.hal) instead of a static
+        *  fstab expectations.
+        *
+        *  Basically it doesn't keep on generating mount notifications
+        *  just because autofs automatically unmounts a volume, which
+        *  would get _excruciatingly_ boring for users when the autofs
+        *  timeout is set to oh, say, two seconds.
+        */
