Elias, Thank you.
Even after disabling SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in Ubuntu with kernel 2.6.25.x,
pmount worked without any issue.
Can you tell me how do you mount the usb flash drives using pmount? (I
think you manually mount)
Regards,
Mohan.

pmount does stop working.
If you meant Mohan's reply, it has shown up on gmane. What did not show
up on this list is my reply to his email because I haven't included the
list in the Cc: header due to a false assumption about the way the
Debian BTS is supposed to work.
He only failed to mention one crucial detail,
namely SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 of .config.
Precisely. As you can see at [1], I said something to this effect in my
reply to Mohan and I'll include this same reply below for the record on
this list.
Thanks for confirming my report.
Regards,
Elias

Hi,
thanks for getting back to me.

I checked plugging usb stick in a Ubuntu Hardy Heron distro with
kernel versions pre 2.6.25 and 2.6.25.x, in both cases pmount worked.
Please correct me if I am doing some thing wrong.
Yes, I've only just realised that the problem doesn't necessarily occur
even on 2.6.25.y. The crucial difference is this:

The standard kernel shipped in Debian sid is configured with
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y
which is why the problem is hidden. If you happen to be running a kernel
where the deprecated sysfs files are disabled, you'll get the problem I
described.
Please note that the issue is definitely caused by a bug in libsysfs
which just not happened to show up before.

Elias
