however disabling those will also break other unrelated software. Marco
already raised udev[1]. So it might be simply a requirement that you
turn that support on when you compile your own kernels and that it's
turned on in lenny-and-a-half (if that happens). It's good to keep
in mind, though, thanks. ;-)
I think if that patch (because it's a tad larger) gets sufficient testing
on stable we can do it, if it makes pmount more robust. I just want to argue
that it's not strictly necessary because it's not a configuration that we
support.
Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
[1] Which might be kind of special anyway and in need for an upgrade for
a newer kernel, I think.
