I echo Mark's sentiments, though for a different reason.
Softraid crypto volumes take time to fsck, yet are useful to use.
In my case I can wait 20+min for my personal laptop to be useful, or I
can wait 5min and let the rest fsck while I get to be productive. The
laptop has /usr, /var, /tmp, /home, /usr/obj, /usr/src, /usr/ports
amongst other partitions. I've marked all but the first four as
'noauto' and then use the hotplug attach routine to fsck and mount the
rest, which are not necessary for me to be productive and check email.
Since this change, I've hardcoded the scripts, but would definately
prefer the prior behavior.
Thanks,

| A bit late to the game, but I don't really agree with Tedu that the
| changed behaviour is an improvement. Say I have configured
| hotplugd(8) such that it automatically mounts things when I plug in my
| camera. Now I reboot my machine, without unplugging the camera.
| Previously hotplugd(8) would remount things upon boot. Now suddenly
| it doesn't and I have to unplug and replug the camera.

| Adding comments like this, describing historical behaviour really
