The article does not address the USB automount logic, nor Firewire issues.
Can anyone say how 9.3 compares to 9.2 in those 2 areas?
I find USB automount in 9.2 is flakey and ttroublesome.
I have not tried Firewire, but I've been told it was unreliable in 2.6.x vanilla a few months ago, so I have steered clear of 9.2 / firewire.
Either of those working better would be justification enough for me to upgrade.
Hi Greg, I have noted no problems with my USB 'thumb' drives (flash memory) not with my USB 2.0 HD 160GB hard drive. I have had none of the lockups that previous releases have had. The automount seems ok, but there are sometimes odd delays which I attribute to the 'hotplug' subsys. PeterB
