BTW, I came across this utility which is a GUI to modify fstab: fwfstab -
http://www.diffingo.com/oss/fwfstab, while searching. Unfortunately they
don't have a .deb package.
Tried the install from source tarball, but it didn't work.

Would be nice for newbies  (Ubuntu devs, if any, on this list might want to
have a closer look).
