well, for a bit of OT discussion sake, here's how it imho SHOULD work,
from user (noobs and non guru) desktop point of view:
cd/dvds: mounted automatically on insert / first access. if a program is
running from it (or a file is open from it), and user tries to eject it
using button, or any eject

Granted, that can get pretty close. However, having to use /auto/*
instead of mounting directly where required often limits using it quite
a bit. Thus, I don't see it as a real alternative.

They cannot mount on demand, thus cannot do the same job. The boot
partition, for example, is something that should only be mounted when
required. The same obvio

functionality that simply isn't available otherwise.
For those who are not familiar with it: this system does on-demand

I use the patch from IBM ; now running JFS, and notice
a bit improved performance than Reiserfs, it is good

already). But It is hard, they only give the patch
Supermount has been integrated into the Mandrake 8 kernel (2.4);
I have been unable to locate the standalone patch for this, however.

I totally aggree, supermount is nice features and it
should be integrated into the main kernel
only recently begun to have a look at the
kernel (i believe every workman should know his tools). but i have
noticed that supermount is not a standard part of the project, is there
any reason why this is? is it due to man power? i would have been less
shocked by the absense of other features i
programs, i have recently
become interrested in the kernel (i believe everyone should have some
understanding of their tools),
i have noticed supermount is not a standard part of this project, is
there a good reason why this is? i apologise if this is a very silly
question as i am sure it is, but
happens on a device (to processes who have requested to get to know).
This has several advantages:
* Supermount don't need to be kernel-related at all, and so doesn't need to
be updated for each new kernel revision (cleaner kernel)
* Possible to get autorun on linux
* Can get rid of &quo

about that but wait. But that's not why i
