    Was my description still unclear?  when I use a "symbolic link"
to a file or to a device, when I look at where I am, I want to
see what I typed in as part of the path.

If I'm in my home dir, I can cd into
bin/audio to work on scripts.  If I want to test with large
files, they are in /Audio, where the scripts dir is
under /Audio/scripts.

If I am making a short change and not testing, I usually
work by cd'ing into the local path ~/bin/audio -- I wouldn't
be real happy if it dumped me in /Audio/scripts each time, even
though that would be a canonical name.

Same with Devnames -- If I use the standard /dev/VG/LV in
constructing a name, being passed a mutated form forces an
automated script to go belly up -- looking for the VG after
/dev/, and looking for LV's under the VG.

So in my usecase, I'd like to mount the volumes using
/etc/fstab and still be able to use the no-canonicalize
option. 


??  Reasonable to be able to specify the switch
via fstab and provide consistency with the command
line option?
