Are you sure you're not confusing two entirely unrelated things? I think of automounter as being related to NFS (not to mention being a huge pain in the butt). You shouldn't need to go through all this if all you're looking for is automatic filesystem type detection at mount time, which is what the /etc/fstab stuff is all about. For the record, the entries in your fstab mean (respectively): auto in column 3 - figure out what filesystem type is on this thing, then mount it. noauto in column 4 - don't automatically mount this filesystem at boot time. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
