I agree, with regards to the problems of subfs. Is there a way to turn
this "off" for lack of a better way to phrase the question? I'd like to
use the old mount/umount system personally.

Submount-2.4 subfs version 0.2 May 16, 2003
Copyright (C) 2003 Eugene S. Weiss
Subfs is the kernel portion of the submount removable media handling system.
For submount to function, it needs both the subfs kernel module and the
submountd program to be installed.
For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL in this directory.
=============================================================
It should be possible to "rmmod subfs" if it does not report busy.
Another way would be to move the module e.g
/lib/modules/2.6.4-54.5-default/extra/subfs.ko or
/lib/modules/2.4.21-99-athlon/kernel/fs/subfs/subfs.o as appropriate out
of the directory so it's not found on boot up, same for /sbin/submountd
as an alternative.
subfs is not in the standard kernels from kernel.org, it's available as
a patch only and is still work in progress. I don't have it in my
kernel.org kernels and apart from the message during boot that says it's
not available in the kernel, everything behaves as before 9.1, usb
printer, scanner, digital camera, webcam on both x86 and x86_64, plus a
usb serial port and genius optical mouse on the x86_64 laptop.

Sid.
