[Veritas-bu] ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive

And the info is pulled out of mnttab, and skips anything that is removable
media, like cdrom.

Good, I didn't have the resources last week to test his theory.  He did say

I don't believe it's true.  I've used ALL_LOCAL_DRIVE on Solaris systems
that have UFS on / and some Vxfs mounted underneath.  The backup picks up
all the filesystems.
