Pixel, if you're reading this, and the patch gets applied, it would be good to make it default for floppies in diskdrake, it really speeds it up (checking for udf takes to long).

So shoot me down if you think that this proposal is _not_ what supermount should be doing. I'd like to see a transparent way of access to audio cds (and vcd and the like). There is something already doing this called cdfs IIRC, haven't looked at it for some time. But currently GUI apps try to do this kinda thing by implementing things like audiocd:// io_slaves and the like. A very silly solution, why doesn't the kernel handle this? As I said, perhaps it is better to improve cdfs and let supermount use this as subfs (if possible). d.
