[PLUG] /etc/fstab

[Alice Corbin]

In the third arg, 'auto' will try to automatically determine what
the file system is, while 'vfat' says what it's expected to be.

In the fourth arg, 'user,noauto' says to allow normal users to
mount the device, but not to do it automatically at boot time,
while 'defaults,users' says to use the default settings
(rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, async), but on second
thought DO allow users to mount.

So the main diffs are that the first line will allow you to
mount a variety of file systems, while the second will auto-mount
at boot.
