     This is what graphical mount-helpers of most DEs do, and it's the 
most sensible thing to do. However, the skilled admin might want to 
bypass this by providing a specific  config for a specific uuid, like 
trigger some backup.


     Wishlist: the "automounter" shouldn't mount automatically, by 
default. It should rather offer an easy mount-handle, and the umount 
counterpart.
