Does mount provide some way to add hooks such that mount /foo
can do some work to setup/create the necessary device file before actually mouting it (the device file contains an ext3 partition). I'm thinking of an fstab entry like /dev/bar /foo ext3 noexec,prehook=/sbin/makebar In my case /dev/bar is really an LVM volume that needs to be activated (it's on a USB drive) before the corresponding device can be used.
