Right now we offer no facilities for that I think. Basically you want to 
discriminate between it has been mounted using system facilities vs it's been 
mounted by hand by the user (on the command line, so it appears only in mtab)?

If that's the case at some point I could probably add a hint for that on 
StorageAccess when I get to handle network mounts.

If you want something more complex: fixed devices vs hotpluggable/removable 
devices vs network mounts in fstab (and thus supposed to always have the same 
mountpoint... until you modify the fstab) vs random mounts done by the user by 
hand. It's likely to end up with writing a convoluted heuristic in nepomuk 
itself which will probably fail in some corner cases.

Note that even right now, you could use KMountPoint to do some of that 
yourself, but it'll obviously be not portable.

Regards.
