Subject: system updating routinely umounts "manual" nfs mounts

This has been happening here for several months or more in devel distro
versions Factory and IIRC Cauldron and Rawhide.

Maybe others' manual nfs mounts are more "manual" than mine are. Mine are
actually a group of noauto fstab entries I enable via script when I want them
active. All of my installations are on real x86 hardware, some 32 and others
64 bit. I'm guessing what's going on is systemd updates syncing /proc/mounts
to fstab, oblivious to the manual post-init mount processes having taken
place, but this certainly could be nfs evolutionary fallout or something else
I know nothing about. Is this happening to others? Expected? My search of nfs
component @bugzilla.kernel.org produced nothing on apparent point.

Couldn't make it happen in Cauldron or Rawhide, so filed openSUSE bug:

The kernel certainly isn't going to unmount things for you like this, so
this is a question for the distro or systemd maintainers or something.
