Thanks for bringing it back to the topic :) Can anyone actually come up with reasons why HAL should not simply mount all filesystem types found on such a medium, onto different mountpoints (/media/hsfsmnt, /media/udfsmnt, ... ?) ? One could argue that on a writeable medium, double detection should lead to a refusal to mount. On a readonly medium, though, there can be no harm in allowing all ways in. Now how to find out whether a medium doesn't allow writes ... another problem, but again, workaround would be to simply mount all multiple detections - but all readonly. What do people think on that ? FrankH. Note: There's no proper solution to 'hybrids' but to access them via all. As Vista generates ISO9660/UDF hybrids where the ISO9660 side only says 'this needs UDF', someone else can easily create an iso9660/udf hybrid where the other is true, and the udf side says 'look at this via iso9660 and you see' - just showing one-of-a-hybrid always puts the problem up that you might show the one that doesn't contain what you want to see. For the user, it counts that all is there. If it's in the expected/hoped-for place, for the better, but to start with, better have it than not. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
