I may have given an incomplete picture here. While we set the defaults there, any entry in /etc/fstab will override those defaults. So it is already the case that the /etc/fstab entries could be used by any init system. I would quite like for these to be created for new installations by the debian-installer, if the d-i folks could do that. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
