Thanks, but I don't see quite how to select "on demand" in that man page.
If
I comment out the entry it isn't requested at boot, but it isn't requested
when I try to mount it, I get a "must specify filesystem type" prompt.
Anybody figure out how to do this yet? I also have an encrypted volume
that I want "on demand" rather than activated at boot. Commenting out
the entry in /etc/crypttab and changing the fstab mount option to
"noauto" doesn't do the trick.
