Thank you for this follow up.. I've never experienced this problem, but
it bugged me that could never find where this configuration was stored..
when this problem was first reported, I spent lots of time combing
through the HAL configuration files trying it find how the default
filesystem mounting options fit together.. Figures I was in the wrong
place entirely.
