Subject: System startup tries to fsck noauto file-systems

I have several USB drives that I use for backups and archives. I have 
mount-points in my home directory and fstab entries that look like this:

LABEL=Primary                                   /home/dca/Primary       
ext2    rw,noauto,user  0 1

Note the 'noauto' option.

After adding these entries to the Void system's fstab (I routinely use this 
on my Arch systems), I could not boot the system, getting an error message 
of the form

fsck.ext2: Unable to resolve 'Label=Primary'

for those drives that are not physically plugged into the system. The whole 
point of this is to permit these drives to come and go, to be plugged into 
the system and mounted when I need them. Again, this works as expected on 
Arch. It looks to me like the Void startup code is trying to fsck 
everything mentioned in fstab, including noauto file-systems. I think this 
is a bug.
