post, I still would like to see us all look for fixes. There's so much
talent coming here that I find it hard to believe we can't systematically
find some direction in helping Mandrake resolve the idiosyncrasies, if not
come up with the fix ourselves. Your comparison was perfect, to my mind.
It's an intermittent problem that comes and goes, leaving some not believing
the problem exists and others wanting to kick if for the trouble it has
brought to them.
I was thinking about what was said here by some, that supermount would
either cause a busy cycle and lock up the device from changing media, or
time-out and unmount when that was not what was desired. It would seem to me
that the problem would be in the way the program decides when it should
mount, how long it should stay mounted, and when it should unmount. It seems
to make sense that the way the motherboard or BIOS handles things has an
effect. I couldn't begin to explain intelligently what I mean. I just don't
have that expertise, but I think Dark Lord's presumption stirs some thought.
Too bad Mandrake's own software engineers don't frequent this place. I
wonder sometimes if they have a clue at what we discuss here. If they do,
they are lurking and not participating....unless one of you Brainiacs is
really a Mandrake spy!
and scsi-emulation only, and my drives are not generic, but pioneer and Mitsumi
and my mobo is MSI, hardly flighty unheard of companies.
