Interesting, I didn't have any real problems myself, though one has to
adjust a little bit. E.g. things like find /media/cdrom/ -name xyz
don't necessarily work, find complains to the effect of "this file
changed under my feet, sorry, I'm outa here". A cd /media/cdrom fixes
that, I guess the device gets unmounted and remounted while find is
running, the inode numbers change and find doesn't like it. Or something
like that. submount is a little easier to handle than autofs, but
it's not a big difference. I've been using autofs with no trouble for
years, and it's very easy to set up (uncomment lines in
/etc/auto.{master,misc}
For USB storage devices the automounter isn't used though. Question: is
this hook-the-CF-up-as-another-harddisk PCMCIA card treated like a USB
storage device, or a read/write cdrom?
