Ugh.  You're right, and I managed to miss that when running rcorder.

Maybe a better solution would be to add a "noncritical" option to mount 
(akin to "noauto"), as well as a new rc.d/mountnoncritremote that took 
advantage of it.  I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen, 
though.

Right.  That's not important to me, but I can see why that wouldn't be a 
good default.
