This still doesn't explain what "kudzu" means as an option in /etc/fstab.
It's not documented in fstab(5) or kudzu(8) either. A quick Google search
for "etc fstab kudzu" did turn up this page, though:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.1-Manual/release-notes/s1-system.html
It seems it's for the automatic management of removable media.
