Pam_mount .. (google...) you learn something new every day, don't you!
That sounds like a reasonable usage of 'nodev', though testing for
/sbin/fsck.$FSTYPE might do as well...
I guess in my case I could live without the auto-fsck, and as there
isn't necessarily just one device to take part in the fsck, it might
be awkward anyway.
Thanks.
I wonder if there are any others....
