All I know is that if I have a disc mounted then start and stop freevo it is no longer mounted. Freevo must have some internal mounting already built in because when I put in a CD or DVD it automatically "mounts" it (I don't know if it is officially mounted or if it's just some internal trickery) and when I press the eject button on the drive itself it is unmounted and ejected automatically.
I think the real problem that should be addressed is: If this is not working for you without supermount/submount then what is wrong with the freevo configuration you have as it SHOULD work like you want it to WITHOUT external automounting facilities. 2005/7/28, Evan Hisey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Greet- > I would say, preformance issue are the big thing.
