Hi Frank,

I think it's the same on Solaris, that's where I first saw it.

Tony,

Thank you for your input.  Easier than directives (I think) will be to 
explicitly list the file systems I want backed up.  However, this "it is listed 
in fstab, I must back it up" behavior is not the way NetWorker works on any 
other flavor of unix, so I was not expecting it here.
