So what a solution is there foe USB and CD drives automounting? Should it remain a desktop-specific issue?
What is the advantage of handling it in a separate manner? All the major, maintained desktop environments seem to have no problem with automounting. So besides supporting old, almost unmaintained versions of desktop environments like KDE 3 and Gnome 2, what advantage would such a shared system have?
Well is you want to win a competition against other desktop environments by forcing them to re-implement the same things and manage hardware by their own, your strategy of not implementing system-wide subsystems would have a reason. But only if you want to win by impeding development and function of other desktop environments. Currently KDE3 has a daemon that does auto-mounting. I think other desktops have a similar daemon. Implementing auto-mounting with udev rules will free the memory and processor cycles. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
