different fstab (or /etc/auto.hal) options for DOS disks

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

david, hi,

um, okay: there are better ways to do this, i am sure.

and for autofs, the scripted method (/etc/auto.hal.sh) is beginning to
look more and more attractive.

... but that leaves fstab-sync in the dark.

i've had to add some specialisation depending on the file system type.
i.e. if it's an msdos filesystem, it's necessary to add a mount option
"-o uid=<theconsoleuser>" ...

where the options for a DOS filesystem are read from a config option 
MOUNT_EXTRA_OPTS_DOS from a config file /etc/fstab-sync.conf

for things like smb file systems, it gets even more specialised.

perhaps there should be a per-fstype config option?

  /* for times when people want to do "-o uid=someusername" for
   * non-user-supporting file system types...
   */
  if (strcmp("vfat", volume->fs_type) == 0 ||
      strcmp("ntfs", volume->fs_type) == 0 ||
      strcmp("msdos", volume->fs_type) == 0)
  {
	  if (extra_mount_opts_dos[0])
	  {
		  strcat_len (options, ",");
		  strcat_len (options, extra_mount_opts_dos);
	  }
  }
  else if (extra_mount_opts[0])
  {
	  strcat_len (options, ",");
	  strcat_len (options, extra_mount_opts);
  }

#ifdef FSTAB_SYNC_USE_NOOP_MOUNT_OPTION
  strcat_len (options, "," FSTAB_SYNC_MOUNT_MANAGED_KEYWORD);
#endif
