if it is that hard, how did losers like microsoft get it working in their
OS..???

I mean in 95 it had some issues with floppies constantly being seeked and
stuff, but they ironed it out for
later versions..

I guess we'll never know what klugge they used, the curse of open source...

The code for supermount itself is fairly clean and straightforward.  But
how to make the kernel gracefully exit situations where it's trying to
access a file on media that is no longer available is what is the hard
part.  I don't profess to be a guru with kernel code by any means.  It's
a deep concept that has lots of issues that it has to deal with.
