If a user does not use Gnome or KDE, he is an expert and knows how to solve self-made problems. If he does not know, the answer is: Log into Gnome or KDE.Please consider this : I use some headless fileserver on a remote site; the data backup is done on an external usb2 hard drive swapped once a week by an unqualified person which is only able to unplugged and re-plug the device. Don't you think that in this case, console hotplug is really usefull! At least, I DO!
Of course "hotplug" mounting is useful in a number of cases. No one said the opposite. Yet, a number of options could be found to circumvent the lack of subfs: - autofs- add mount and umount around your backup process (which is much safer and more deterministic anyway)
- use ivmanI don't see why you can't add mount at the beginning of your backup procedure and then add umount at the end of it.
Let's not exaggerate this either, a lot of people have been able to live for years without "hotplug mounting".
This doesn't mean we shouldn't find a solution.But this doesn't mean either that the whole system is useless just because that feature is lacking on the console and non-KDE/GNOME window managers.
Futhermore, WHY Someone should think what is good and what is wrong to do, FOR ME??? This is the very reason why some years ago I quite my M$ qualified sysadmin job!!!!! Please let ME decide what I should do and what I shouldn't.
Gosh, what is it with you and Houghi, having a bad day ?We're in a process of discussing this issue and trying to find solutions. There's no need to get mad or drawing premature conclusions.
I consider that this (no more automounting in console mode) is a REAL step backward as it is YOUR responsability (as end user) to decide.
Could you PLEASE avoid SHOUTING ?!?!? Thank you :) cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v FOSDEM 2006 -- 25+26 February 2006 in Brussels
