Re: disable Creation of submounts

You cannot disable the creation of submounts.
I will probably remove the use of submounts in a future build.
I recommend that users not specify submount names when mapping
drives.  They are not required.

The problem with USB sticks is a problem with Windows not OpenAFS.
Please file a bug report with Microsoft.  If a drive letter is in
use by Windows, Windows should not re-use the drive letter for another
device.
