Actually, the supermount is still buggy, just a bit less than the old one in 9.0 - yesterday my USB Zip drive (the new 750MB variety) started to act up, showing the free capacity of the disk to be only cca 100MB, even when only 300MB file was on the disk. Disabling supermount and rebooting solved the problem. Not to mention the annoying scanning of the Zip drive accompanied by a jet-like noise of the drive spinning up every time I enter the /mnt directory or connect some USB device (e.g. my webcam or Sony Clie). Actually, this scanning blocks the system for few seconds completely, until the drive spins up. Pretty bad, IMHO. And I am using the multimedia kernel, with low latency on, kernel preempting on, so you would expect this not to happen.
