The point I was trying to make, was that whether there is any risk in a wholesale disabling of supermount or not, disabling supermount specific derives certainly doesn't affect it.

[newbie] Supermount/devfs/v9.0 question.
If I disable supermount, which I traditionally do with every Mandrake release, will I lose the hot plug 'n play ability with USB devices? I mean like plugging in cameras, smart cards, Kangaroo drives, etc, etc? If so, can I just disable supermount for specific devices and not all? Like my floppy, CD, CDRW, and Zip? I'm sure that can be done in /etc/fstab, right? Thanks all! :-) -- /\ Dark Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
