i personally wont put any effort into it since i have very limited time
due to job changes (unlike the last two years i'm not working as
fulltime ltsp guy anymore) and will spend the i have remaining time for
ltsp rather in fixing the design problem we have here from the ground up
(in my optinion these devices need to be handled by hal and the
repective desktop mount tools [1] with ltspfs only being used for the
network mount in the backend, not by scripts ... )

well, effectively the media is only mounted during RW operations (a user
wont notice that)

can you file a bug and exactly describe where you saw that ? in ubuntu
at least there shouldnt be such an option shown anywhere (i assume
debian has our gnome patches as well)

right, thats a security feature, unmounting should only happen by
lbmount (which runs suid root) called from ltspfsmounter

looks like another issue to report to a bugtracker (thats why we have
them ;) ) ... this is either caused by users not logging out properly or
by a bug in ltspfsmounter
