I haven't been following the cooker ML.  Probably should since I upgraded to 
10.0.

Well, I did have the media recognition problem initially, although that has 
cleared up now.  I haven't had any problems with magicdev since the initial 
ones, I am pretty sure that I am still on that since I did not do anything to 
change it.  I can still remember all the problems associated with supermount 
but will take your word for it that it works better than magicdev.
