Wait -- auto only works if the module has already been loaded?  It
doesn't work if the module is available (but not loaded)?

I hadn't realized that, but it could explain a number of weirdnesses
I've had with auto.  Annoying, though.

What about if you put the type in /etc/filesystems, but don't have the
module loaded?
