I would suggest a file at the root of each filesystem (call it either .noindex or noindex.txt). Formatting is just a list of directories within the filesystem using relative addressing with simple globbing allowed like so:
dev/* sys/* proc/* home/user/maps/*.ogg mapinfo* ... That would be ok for removable media but perhaps less so for the rootfs since it violates conventions on what typically appears at the root (Do we care?). We might also allow the file to appear anywhere and apply for files in the directory (And subdirectories) too.
