I would if I understood what the problem was. You say you want KDE to |
| 18 |
leave CF cards alone, now you seem to be saying that you want it to |
| 19 |
automount them and then leave them alone. Please provide a URL |
| 20 |
explaining the problem. |

I've just tried this. I plugged in a CF card, let KDE automount it and |
| 29 |
then switched to a VC and pumounted it as the same user, no problem. I |
| 30 |
expected there to be a problem if a file manager window was showing the |
| 31 |
contents of the card, this used to happen because konqueror had a lock on |
| 32 |
the mount point, but that also worked perfectly. |

Autofs polls the drive to see if it's still there, unlike HAL/D-BUS based |
| 40 |
solutions that use system messages. This always struck me as rather |
| 41 |
kludgy. KDE's automount/hotplug support was patchy a few releases ago, |
| 42 |
particularly in 3.4 IIRC correctly, but it seems to work just as expected |
| 43 |
now. |
