Actually fstab-sync/hal (still) adds the /etc/fstab entries but note
that they are added with the 'noauto' option - e.g. they wont get
mounted at boot time.

It is not before you login into GNOME that they will get mounted by
gnome-volume-manager. One can disable automounting from the gnome-
volume-manager capplet to work around this until the real bug is fixed.
