I don't have a Redhat install to hand here.  It's in /etc/rc.sysinit, the line
that mounts local filesystems.  mount -a -O <class> mounts everything in
/etc/fstab, only it now "omits" any fs explicitly flagged as belonging to
<class>.  I think the line was

     mount -a blah blah -O netdevfs

Except that there's no use of this flag in /etc/fstab.  Hence my slight
wondering if it was a RedHattism.

Thanks all,
Ronan
