If I was
wrong here I apologize. I don't have time to examine each and
every patch that exists outside of this mailing list, so I do have to
trust other people to look at some of them--this is the nature of a
large
project
such as Trinity.
Here is it.
OK. At first glance it is distro-specific, as Ubuntu (for example) does
not automatically mount new devices into /media. In fact, that would be
considered undesirable behaviour from my point of view, as the user should
be able to decide which devices to mount.
Also, I would hazard a guess that the popup GUI for encrypted devices
doesn't work with this patch.

I should mention as well that if OpenSUSE does not automount into /media
either, then the patch is not distro-specific, it is simply incomplete, as
it does not provide all the functionality for pluggable media that once
existed with HAL.
