Speaking of which, some OS's accept a 'noauto' option in their /etc/fstab to tell 'mount -a' not to bother with the line. I like to have a /cdrom line in my /etc/fstab, but don't want it mounted at boot time and would like to be able to do # mount /cdrom at some point without having to remember all of the right args. Yes, I know I could write a little wrapper script to do # mount -t XXXfs -r /dev/cd0a /cdrom or whatever the right incantation is, but it'd be nice to have that 'noauto' option.
