 Sure! It is a very good point!
 
 It will be, at least, more intuitive (after all... why should a mounted
 filesystem disappear when the computer goes into suspend mode???).
 
 I did that proposal because umounting those filesystems marked as "noauto"
 in /etc/fstab seems easier to implement.  But locking these devices seems
 the right answer to the problem.  Obviously, I do not know a lot about
 FreeBSD.  If it is possible to lock those devices, great!  It is the
 right answer.  I supposed that there was a problem locking those devices.
 
 Cheers!
 
 Igor.
