What I miss in autofs, is an option of mounting a media on _insertion_ resp.
"disk change" message from kernel, instead of on first access. This is
especially annoying for my CDROM drives, which always need a couple seconds
to be mounted, when they have spun down.
Are there any plans to support this, perhaps even merge supermount into
autofs - if possible? I think supermount supports this ...
