13 Ivman 0.6.x or greater uses pmount to mount your drives, and thus does
14 NOT need any fstab entries. However, fstab entries may still be used if
15 necessary, though you are suggested to avoid them when possible.

17 HAL/D-Bus automounters like ivman and KDE's built in system use pmount,
18 which works best without an fstab entry. If there is an entry in fstab,
19 it overrides the pmout defaults. In this case, it causes it to be mounted
20 as root rather than the user running ivman.
