Guest JaseP Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 The problems that I have with supermount are intermittant enought to place me squarely on the top of the fence rather than on either side. I can see it being a hassle for some people to mount and unmount things manually, but I tend to do that with a lot of stuff anyway. I could care less either way,... really. By the way, I use SuSE 8.2 now, so my experience might be a little different than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xamusk Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 I've been using mdk since 9.1 (yes, i'm not that new in the Linux community). However I've never had problems with supermount. Even using k3b or mounting ISOs or whatever. Actually, I've even opened the drive with an app still showing its contents but then I got no problems too. But then the issues can be hardware related. This I would not be able to tell.

davecs Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 The first version of Linux that I actually managed to install properly adn get working was Mandrake 9.0. Supermount was a pain in the ar5e! If you tried to access an optical drive without a disc in, it was several minutes before you got your machine back! 9.1 has not completely eliminated this problem, but has got the wait to manageable proportions, so, on balance I have kept supermount. If you want to do without it, in KDE at least, you can create icons on your desktop that have, on the context menu, mount/unmount commands. In fact I have created one for my Compact Flash card reader. It's no big deal. Just right click on the desktop, select Create New... CD/DVD Device or Floppy Device and off you go!

ezroller Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I have not used it for a since 8.0. I can't stand it actually. It has never worked for me, so I just avoid it from the get-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted October 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 It's interesting to see the mix in opinions on this one... Personally I feel much happier without it... That said - if it worked properly it would be great for newbies at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 there are many convenient ways to u/mount drives graphically.don't keep us in suspense.....care to share? :wink: gkrellm is good for mounting/unmounting. And of course, there are desktop context menus, applets... Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timelord Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 At the risk of showing my newbieness, how would I disable supermount? To tell the truth, before I read this thread, i didn't know there was such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
