ahhh no.  And I see doing that cures the problem, but how do I make
this happen at every mount... is there syntax for fstab in the options
column that take care of that or does it have to be scripted or something
to get it to happen with every mount.  Maybe in the local.start init
script.

But I was under the impression this could be done with mount options.
