No, I think pmount behavior changed: |
| 8 |
|

it now honors entries in the fstab. |

Normally you should mount by mountpoint not device node. |

I think, there is an apropiate entry in the fstab, so pmount has not to |

create an new mountpoint. |

Then you should think about ivman if you want automounter support. And |
| 43 |
Fluxbox rocks :-) |
