>Description:

	Many of the machines I administer have large but relatively
	inconsequential filesystems.

	It would be nice if they could be marked in /etc/fstab for
	"later fsck + mount" so that a lengthy fsck of these
	filesysetms does not hold up the rest of the boot process.

	If a small script were provided, along with a freeform string
	tag in /etc/fstab, one could fsck/mount the squid cache partitions
	right before squid is started with:
		/etc/rc.mount squid
	and news partitions right before inn with
		/etc/rc.mount news

	Further to this it should be possible to specify a "not important"
	flag so that if the fsck/mount doesn't succeed we just continue
	without the filesystem, rather than drop into single-user.
