pmount resolves all symlinks in fstab also. So, in fact, /dev/sda1 is
in fstab, under the name /dev/disk/by-label/Lea_External. This is a
feature, I'm afraid. pmount tries hard to not provide a means tp
override /etc/fstab, including for symlinks (you might prefer have
/dev/cdrom in your /etc/fstab settings, and that's a symlink).
If /dev/sda1 is always /dev/disk/by-label/Lea_External, then you
should be glad that pmount delegates to mount without privileges.
It seems that the pmount manual page is confusing, though, I'll have a
look into that.
Regards,
Vincent
