'less' is good.  Trying to get to the most straightfwd way to build, configure & deploy Xen guests withOUT excess.  For Opensuse at least pretty sure AY is part of the equation.

It adds them by default, but what if I change the default fstopts for those mounts, e.g.?  Or add an additional mount?

Atm, adding changes to the Guest's /etc/fstab, then creating/examining a reference profile show no trace of my change.  E.g., after adding

  /home/test/JUNK  /mnt/JUNK  none bind 0 0

to /etc/fstab, and re-creating a all-selected reference profile, I see no mention of the mount in the autoyast profile output.  Unclear whether I've missed something in the profile generation, or it's simply not dealt with.

Kindof cheating, rather than rtfm'in up-front, by hey -- it works!  Once I figure out the fstab bits ...
