Does that mean that one of the best features SuSE up to 10.0 had on the desktop (ok, MY opinion) will be gone in 10.1, with no real replacement? No. Read the older messages in the factory list, there is a discussion about it. KDE and GNOME will have built-in-support for the new way, all users using other WMs will have to care for themselves.
That is the curent situation. However alternatives should be discussed in factory. From the minutes: Suggested alternatives: supermount, autofs, create a console daemon that will do the job of gnome-volume-manager. The problems are that autofs is poor documented, supermount status is unknown, and the console daemon would need to be implemented, it simply doesn't exist now.
Any solution (e.g. how other distro's handle this) are welcome as long as it is NOT subfs. People who have alternatives: please let it be known in factory (as long as it is not subfs)
I just wonder, has this one been looked at: ivman ?
http://ivman.sourceforge.net/
"A simple daemon to automount cd-roms, play audio cds or dvds,... Something like
Gnome-Volume-Manager, but without all Gnome-deps, and (initially) no GUI, using Dbus and Hal"
"Ivman is a generic handler for HAL events. Originally for automounting, it can now be used to run
arbitrary commands when events or conditions occur or properties are modified on your hardware
(e.g., run a command when you close your laptop's lid, run a command when a particular device is
attached or a particular CD is inserted, etc)."
