hi,
how do u do automounting in 2.6.10 in 2.6.5 supermount was working,
now on boot I get message that kernel does not have support for supermount.
I enabled two things in FS abount automounting..checking..
yeah ... Kernel automounter support version 4..
what I have to do to enable it ?!From the help I read that this is for nfs not for cdrom mounting ?

I don't think this is what you're looking for. In order to have automatic removable media mounting, you now have several choices:
1) patch the kernel to re-enable supermount, which is considered "evil", thus why it was removed. However, the ck-sources still patches for supermount, and even if you don't want to use ck-sources, you can nick the patch from the homepage and use it anyway. This is what I do, as no matter how "evil" it is, supermount actually works reliably, and that is what is most important to me.
2) Use subfs (also a kernel option, iirc). It seems to start out working OK, then fails at some point during a session (cd disks become unreadable, possibly unejectable), and I usually have to log out and back in to clear whatever got all confused. Very annoying.
3) Use the user-space automounting functionality, dbus in combination with hal and ivman. Not particularly stable in my experience, but people have been working on these components and they may have improved. See the forums for a really long thread about ivman.
4) You may be able to use autofs (which may be the same as the kernel option you discussed, but I don't know), but I've not used it and I don't really know much about it.
HTH,
Holly
