You miss the point. I am aware of this problem and workarounf and _this_ problem is 
fixed in current kernel (in short, bad interaction between supermount and the rest of 
kernel caused long delays on file close - 4-5 seconds. So scanning large number of 
files was slow). I mean different problem (there was a bug report in Bugzilla about it 
but I forgot the number). Urpmi needs much time to check for correct media, _before_ 
it even started to copy or install files. I do not know what happens but I see that 
supermounted media is being accessed several times before urpmi finally asks to insert 
correct media.

As usual, nothing fatal but bery annoying.

cheers

I hope you do not mind Cc to cooker.
