- subfs has been dropped and will be replaced by hal plus gnome-volume-manager (under GNOME) and some binary for KDE. non-KDE and non-GNOME users have to mount manually.
I don't know what these highly-developed do exactly, but I guess there's a GUI and a (suid-root?) backend calling mount. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Is it difficult to create a shell script or a little console app called by HAL to do the automount? If not, create one - it will work on console and in all window managers. Problem solved. Hmmm... - that sounds _too_ simple, what did I miss? ;)
- As the question came from an FAQ about having subfs disables, is there perhaps a better solution for everybody. Easy disableling subfs for those who want it and enabled for those who want that.
Volker already suggested a /etc/sysconfig variable - sounds good for me and will finally solve this FAQ ;-) (maybe separate variables for CDs, floppies, USB harddisks, other USB devices might be even more useful, but that's the sugar icing ;-) I also agree that the *.fdi files are *NOT* user-friendly and would be happy to have a better solution. (/etc/fstab also holds mount options in a more user-friendly format. I know that's not exactly the same as the *.fdi do, but it should be possible to have a similar format.)
