	Thank you.

	On perforce(when I p4-submit-ed), rwatson said that we need
	is an auto-mounter that listens to GEOM events and can mount
	using disk labels so we can have /mnt/NameOfVolume.

	I think so.  There are many TODO lists:-).

	Oh my god:-).

	Sorry, I don't have a src commit bit.  I am a just ports committer.
