  Target Milestone: ---

I have several network and local filesystems mounted via autofs. It took me
long to find out which process is periodically waking them up (standby usb
drives in spin-down) and remounting.
No process was appearing in lsof or fuser.
Stopping the autofs for debugging this time encountered a crash on that panel
item "Free Space Checker" (please rename the panel item to match the package
name "fsguard".
Anyway not with that crash I got an idea who is the culprit.

Could you add the default behaviour that only mounted locations are monitored?
A `df` wouldn't wake up my usb-drive. But an explicit `df /mnt/usb/data` would
do.
So if not adding a default behaviour you could at least add an option for [ ]
silent checking of [ ] removable for drives and locations that are not always
mounted. That would need to parse the existing mounts first before checking the
`df`on that location.

For now I need to remove all "Free Space Checker" items checking removable
(that is autofs managed) mounts for getting these mounts unmounted after
timeout.

This is fsguard-plugin 1.1.0.
