Ian,

I'm not sure I'm following your message.  So if my response
doesn't make since, I may have misunderstood you.

I changed the entry to -fstype=auto and it looks like the
fsck didn't get called.  I guess this is the mount_generic
portion?  So this did work.  I didn't know about the auto
option.

My original test fix was just to have the daemon ignore the
failed fsck and attempt the mount.  This would work, since
Linux allows multiple mounts of a file system.  My
proposed solution would be for the automounter to check
if the file system was already mounted.  If so, it would
skip the fsck and just go on to the mount.  Also having some
option flags in the map entry to skip the fsck would be useful.

Thanks,

--Shane
