- The current menu present the first 3 lines and add the size (when

- Beware that the operation you are about to do only define the mapping
- between resources (hard drive partitions or network volumes) and your
- local file-system tree.
-
- Removing a line from this menu does not affect the data at all. On the
- other end, if you remove a line, and you reboot you will find an empty
- directory where you used to find the data of the resource. The data is
- still there, but the connection is not done.
