I was going to look at automounting as well, but the docs quite firmly
state that this project is aimed at managing /dev, and no further. So
I took the hint.
Good call, well made :)
Automatically mounting devices is the job of other userspace tools that are connected to the new D-Bus message-passing system. I doubt that it would take much to write a small dÃmon to listen for a message and mount the device. (The example D-Bus program turns down the sound volume if the phone rings!) If you were running GNOME you could run gnome-volume-manager which does perform automounting â but you are right in avoiding X on a server.
Can't comment on whether you can reinstall given the proper, clean kernel source tree.
