You can merge storage.automount_enabled_hint=true into the volume
properties by creating an fdi file
under /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty.  This assumes, of
course, that hal is the one mounting the volume.  If the volume is
listed in fstab, then it's being mounted traditionally.  If it's being
immediately remounted after mounting, that sounds like a bug to me.
