Yes, DS does this, though why it does it for every file system I really
don't know.  The idea is to always give you a path to your native
file systems even if you presently have them shadowed by another mount.
You can ignore them, and I don't think it will hurt if you delete 
the mounts from your rc file, but be careful.
