Yes. once you have enabled supermount in the fstab, you have to call "mount /mnt/cdrom2" to actually activate it. >And from the moment that's done, it all seems to work... if I > insert a cd, its contents are correctly displayed, I can eject it > without unmounting, and I can replace the cd and it will detect that and > get its contents right again...

"noauto" is a parameter that means that this drive is NOT included in the list when you tell the fstab to mount everything. for example, when you issue an "mount -a" (this means 'mount every drive listed in the fstab) drives with the "noauto" flag are skipped, and thus, say unmounted.. > Is that how it works? seems so. > Thanks > > Hans Damian
