Exactly. Perhaps I was too concise. With "explicit" I meant that I always issue the mount command in a command line myself. [a couple of good reasons elided] > I imagine there may be other possibilities... Yes: file system code is not well tested with malicious file systems. There may be an exploit lurking there. If I don't trust the USB stick, I don't mount it right away, but I might want to have a look at the raw data (or perhaps mount it from a VM). > > I don't want any applications or media to autorun, but I do want the > > filesystems mounted. > > That's an entirely reasonable usage pattern, but it is not explicit > mounting, and there are legitimate reasons why someone might want > different behavior.
