No it appears to be using the line # Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option to distinguish them. The "users" option means that you don't need to be root to mount/unmount the device. It would be stupid to use this as a flag to determine whether mepis could or couldn't change the setting. Robert has already confirmed that putting the entry above the "# Dynamic" stops mepis from fiddling with it. Also removing "noauto" will ensure that it is mounted at boot. End of story.
