We never did something like that. We have it documented everywhere  
that it needs to be done manually. So this is at least a POLA  
violation. It is great that the nocover option is used in the mount,  
but it's still some kind of layering violation (I may want to have  
only a subset mounted, or nothing at all).

I do not object to the functionality, but I think it needs to be  
configurable (an option to influence if the auto-mount is done or not,  
doesn't matter to me what the default behavior is, as long as it is  
configurable) and documented (UPDATING, handbook, man-pages, maybe  
even the release notes).

Bye,
Alexander.
