40 I forgot to say:
41
42 For the average joe user that only has a few fstab
43 entries, /boot, /root,/home. swap...
44
45 It won't mean much if anything other than an un-needed change. Since
46 it works for them.
47
48 But for a systems administrator configuring servers with virtual
49 machines, services depending on certain or multiple filesystems being
50 up, etc... It can mean a BIG difference. It is the more complicated
51 systems that are hitting the limitations of the current fstab system.
52 not the simple user with a standard/basic handbook install.
