I'm trying ot fight against the subfs system. I don't really need it, so I could revert to the old system, I already found the procedure. But I want to understand the whole thing. :) The problem is that I have an external HD connected via USB2. Upon connection, everything goes smoothly until the creation of two /media/usb-blabla entries (since there are two partitions on the disk). The first partition is a vfat, and works. The second is an ext3, and it does not work. If I try to enter, the system give a "no medium found" error. I catted the mtab, and found that the two partitions are mounted with fs=floppyfss option: the fat of course works, while the ext3 fails. The same problem for the USB key: it insist in mounting my usb memory stick read only, while i of course want it read write. the question is: why subfs gives that options? How can I change them? And, of course, why it gives so stupid options? Thanks! Andrea
