Wouldn't it be a large improvement if supermount was add to kernel 2.6 so people won't have to mount anymore

For 2.4 > 2.4.9 you can do it in user space. Did it ages ago but my
implementation is *not* pretty and the performance via userspace is
inadequate with modern CD/DVD drives.

Its just a usermode NFSd that mount/umounts the device underneath as it
needs it
