Effectively, I did not care formerly because it caused no problem,
but it was tagged 'auto'.
This is done ('noauto,nofail,' added in front of 'user,…').

Hmm, very possible, I've a (bad) habit: I disabled some daemons by
chmod -x /etc/init.d/<daemon name>

Does it mean I should chmod +x them all and use the regular procedure
(which I don't remember)?

In this state (/dev/sdg1 line modified but /etc/init.d/ disabled
scripts still disabled), can I safely reboot or not?
