I knew there were supermount problems; but I guess I missed any comments about disappearing directories... though I am puzzled that *how* a medium is mounted would, over time, affect *what* of the medium is readable... once mounted, isn't the actual directory structure and its maintenance a normal file-system function? Or is supermount just spaghetti code that encompasses more than it should...?
