        Security?

/dev/sdb2				/		ext3	noatime,errors=remount-ro	0	1
/dev/sda1				/boot		ext3	noatime,rw,defaults,noauto	0	2
/dev/mapper/anzu_main-usr_lv		/usr		ext3	noatime,ro,defaults		0	2
/dev/mapper/anzu_main-home_lv		/home		ext3	noatime,rw,nosuid,nodev		0	2
/dev/mapper/anzu_main-ulocal_lv 	/usr/local	ext3	noatime,rw,nosuid,nodev		0	2
/dev/mapper/anzu_main-var_lv		/var		ext3	noatime,rw,nosuid               0	2
/dev/mapper/anzu_main-spool_lv		/var/spool	ext3	noatime,rw,nosuid,nodev		0	2

        Hmm. I had a chroot at some point in /var -- which is why it has
 no nodev. Time to change.
