Yes, you could do that (per device mount), but it might be confusing for users to have to control things that way. And the unplug issue at a filesystem level should be pretty trivial to handle, we do it all the time in /proc and /sys and other virtual filesystems (usbfs) with no problems. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
