Is there a way to mount the media as soon as it is _inserted_ and not when
you access it first?
(My two SCSI 32x CDROM drives need their 3-5 sec to be mounted - I have no
idea why... even if they already spun up to top speed)
I once heard something like "supermount" was being done for the 2.0. tree,
has it been ported to 2.1 yet?
