Thanks but I'm aware of this and thats what I meant by automatic mount. That
does not provide a UI for configuration, for instance in order to set mount
options on an ntfs partition to be fully labeled public_content_rw_t with a
specific set of permission bits, gid, and uid.
It would not be easy to make a tool to handle those things without just using a
text box for advanced options which just gets copied into the fstab (which is
admittedly silly). But maybe a UI to let you choose the mount point in that
case, so hal and gnome mount it where you want it.
But, I don't see the use case for needing anaconda to handle this. I'm sure
most people who care where a partition gets mounted can handle the very quick
edit to fstab, and those who don't care are getting it done for them already.
