Does this really need to be done automatically? Up until now all of the mounting that rc.sysinit does is essential. This is definitely optional. Can't it just be a commented line in fstab in the filesystems package?

We might do this in the arch-binfmt tool rather than at boot (and then only if config files are found that needs it). Thoughts anyone?

( essential except /dev/shm maybe...

/dev/shm is needed by glibc

a fstab.d would be nice =/ )

Changing the format of /etc/fstab sounds like a bad idea to me (anyone might read and parse /etc/fstab). There was a recent discussion about this on the util-linux ml, where it was committed and then reverted shortly after due to this concern. -t
