I think people using kernel based automounter (autofs) is familiar with the
format
/amnt/xyz.
So why not stick to the same convention in /mnt.
And this convention will have more supporters as more people begin to use
autofs.
Another benefit would be uniformity between /amnt and /mnt.
That is
/amnt/**** may be the place for frequently accessed mounts (floppy, cd, nfs,
etc..)
/mnt/*** would be for temporary AND/OR permanent mounts. And you can still
manually mount the stuff in /amnt/ to here if they are not mounted
there.
And this will make / look nicer.
For temporary compatibility issues ugly symlinks can bu used. Such as
/cdrom -> /mnt/cdrom
etc...
PS: What about including autofs in lsb?
It's just a random thought. :)
