/services should have mounted on bootup - its in fstab. Strange - what
happens if mermaid comes up before mola and can't mount /services or
/home - does it keep trying until mola comes up or just give up?

Is there some way to have it periodically check that /home and /services
are mounted and remount them if necessary?
