I cannot understate the amount of functionality that
was
lost when HAL was abandoned. It will take a long time to rebuild
everything to the same level of functionality that once was available through HAL.
Doesn't matter what was lost. :-) TDE is DEAD without automounting. I don't
envision any user tolerating that loss of functionality. "Long time" won't
cut the cheese with most users --- they'll move on.
Did the OpenSuse KDE3 people resolve this problem?
I assume basic manual (non-automatic) mounting is
working on
your test system?
I did not try anything related to that. Why bother with convoluted circa 1999 mounting
work-arounds? :-(
