Ahh, I did see those options but given the layout of the dialog box I 
thought the 'system/user' option was something related to the mount 
point!

Hence I would suggest a good change to the dialog box would be to 
sepatate those radio buttons into a separate group and put a 
description on the system/user group so it is clearer what the radio 
buttons represent ;-)
