I have not read you patch, and as such have no opinion on if it should
go into the tree or not, but I have some general comments to make
on this overall subject.

I think we need somebody to reconsider how we configure our filesystems
in the future, in order to avoid a confusion of config files whose
interrelationship users will have no chance of figuring out.

We have CCD, GBDE, MD and in the future likely other technologies for
configuring the underlying devices, we have FSCK, UFS and NFS and
other filesystems to mount.

Somebody must be able to come up with some creative stuff here... ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
