Thanks to everyone who replied. It pointed me to understanding
/etc/rc.d/* better.

If I might ask a couple of followup questions:

Is the recommended approach to troubleshooting startup scripts to grep
on the messages, eg:
grep -r 'Mount.*filesystems' /etc/rc.d

or is there a better way?

Also, I don't see this unnecessary error message in a similar mount
situation in F9. Would it be appropriate to file a bugzilla? Against
mount? Or against the util-linux-ng package?

Thanks for improving my understanding of these things.
David
