Is there a reason why this magnificient piece of software is not already in the mainline? It seems to be working very well and provides functionality that simply isn't available otherwise. For those who are not familiar with it: this system does on-demand mounting when the mount point is accessed and automatically umounts afterwards. Unlike autofs, this does not require a special automount filesystem to be mounted, but the actual filesystems can be directly mounted where-ever. Also, it "just works" and the CD drive will eject when the button is pressed, without having to wait for the umount timeout to pass. I haven't looked inside to find out HOW it actually does it, because I simply don't care, as long as it just works. - Tronic -
