[Voyage-linux] ext2 file system being remounted every 5 minutes

[Jeff Ramin]

Thanks for the idea Robert! It led me to the culprit:

I'm running webmin on this box, and under Webmin 
Configuration->Background Status Collection
there is a setting called "collect system status in background", which 
was running
every five minutes. That's what was mounting / every 5 minutes.

I changed it to "never", and the mystery mounts have gone away.
