thanks
Hello,
I've just taken over the maintenance of pmount, and I'm going through
bug reports. I'm sorry to say that I probably will not honour your
request of changing the order in which the fs types will be tried.
Unless I am very much mistaken (and please, do tell me if that is the
case), most users of pmount use it to mount, say, USB keys, most of
which have a redmond-compatible FS. This is the reason why they are
tried first. Honestly, do you know many people who carry around an ext3
USB key ;-) ?
I understand your frustration that mount doesn't give you that many
error messages, but that's inherent to the checking done by pmount: you
definitely want pmount to mount the right fs with the exact options to
get a decent security. We therefore can't rely on the auto mechanism,
but we need to try until it works.
Thanks for your interest in pmount,
Regards,
Vincent Fourmond
