Most of the newer distributions are using hotplug to mount USB flash drives and other external storage media. One way would be to either monitor /etc/mtab || /proc/mounts to know of a mount event and then mount dazukoFS on it or to wrap the mount command itself. Both look messy to me. Any solutions ? Yes, this would be the biggest problem I see. We should investigate and compare how the various distributions handle removeable media. As far as I know, SuSE/Novell uses submount to manage removeable media, which could make things even trickier. I have another question for you. You mentioned that you tested FiST with hooking. How did it work. Several months ago I did a bunch of tests with it and had a lot of stability and performance problems. How was your experience? John Ogness -- Dazuko Maintainer
