Thanks Canek. I appreciate your response. |

It seems when rereading the link above the authors do put the work |
44 |
'example' in italics, implying that possibly I should know what I'm |
45 |
doing and not depend on the text on that page. I'm fine with the not |
46 |
depending part. I'm not so sure about the 'know what I'm doing' part. |

I'm going to take a wild guess that it's somehow mounted in an init |
50 |
script these days but I have no reason to know that's actually how it |
51 |
gets done. I did read the kernel docs and it doesn't seem to be done |
52 |
automatically by the kernel AFAICT. |

Thanks, |
