Hi
you can contact me if you want about that project, current
supermount patches work again (that means that today I fixed the last
known bug). I plan to change quite a bit of things now that
upermount works (i.e. I can do big changes) and I have time for the
next Mandarke release:
- Make supermount locking compresible, just now it uses several things
to mean the same, making races too easy (in the other way you can
think that there is _no_ locking.
- Make it works with zips nicely (notice that this means change the
zip driver, supermount is good enough as it is, but zips want to
_have_ the unit locked while opened :(
- try to implement a way to detect if there is a disk in the unit
before trying to mount, just now we try to mount the disk to know if
there is something in the unit.
That is just from the top of my memory in a Sunday night after haven't
had too many sleep.
Later, Juan.
