That is not the case. It isn't true, that everything has to be in the fstab to enable devicekit-disks to mount it or whatsoever. Like it is with hal now, both is possible, /etc/fstab or "auto"-mounting by devicekit. The difference is, that this now works better. Devicekit-disks can mount fstab entries, as well as attached drives without an fstab entry, and much more. All in all, there is no loss in features by dropping hal in favor of device-kit, it just works better and is generally simpler. So you will still be able to hotplug as user, no problems there at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
