Not sure why this was assigned to mountall; mountall only parses /etc/fstab at boot time, it certainly isn't going to be responsible for writing to it. Reassigning to nautilus, which I guess is what would have to provide an option to convert gvfs mounts into boot-time mounts by adding them to the /etc/fstab. (This is probably a bad idea, but I guess that's a decision for the desktop team.)

Usually network attached drives are available through a Samba share and the only way to browse them in Ubuntu is going through the Network window. This makes no easy task to save files on daily basis since there's no easy way to browse the drive from many windows (i.e. save or open windows) except going inside .gvfs folder which is not user friendly. Also, these drives will not be mounted on boot, so in order to use them users must go through the Network window every time (or edit by themselves fstab). Every time a user browse a Samba share it should be prompted with the option to save them with a panel inside the Nautilus window (like it happens when Ubuntu recognize a Camera when it's browsed with Nautilus) in order to make that samba share automount on every boot.
