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.
