I agree, my opinion is that supermount sucks, until the kernel handles hot swapping better or something. As soon as I try to access something under the mnt dir or whatever when the wrong device is in all hell breaks loose. I wish for us laptop users with modular accessories mdk would put in a choice to use supermount or regular old manual mount - it's not that hard to mount and unmount devices manually. I think it's one of those instances where the product is dumified for customers who can't understand and made annoying for those who can.
