Have you tried mounting it with *only* the device name or mountpoint as the parameter? From the examples you have posted it looks like you have not. I think I've already mentioned that mount apparently ignores /etc/fstab options if you provide more than a single argument to the mount command. I have never seen this documented, but it seems to be what happens.

mount /dev/fd0
or
mount /mnt/auto/floppy

Yes!

, that's what I'm talkin' about. At last.
Now it works
But other problems still exist.
I mean, as I said earlier, it would be great to click a disk icon and have emelfm open with my Disk_A catalog.
I made an icon and put a command line in a .lnk file:

Code Sample

emelfm /Disk_A

When I click it, emelf opens but with a standard view and I have to enter the Disk_A catalog.
The other question is a supermount kernel option. How can I enable it? (Compile the kernel or what?)
p.s. I have noticed that during mounting openoffice2.dsl, on my desktop openoffice icons are made. But some of them (openoffice impress, calc and base) are laying on themselves. :angry:

You might want to try the rox extension. It gives you a lot more flexibility in how you operate your desktop (managing icons), works as a file manager (drag and drop between directories), mounter (right click a mountable for mount/unmount options), etc.

I have a couple rox-related pages on by blog (www link at bottom of reply). I have a few pics up there as well as in the "my stuff" category showing mountable icons and overlays (I posted a pic showing new overlays I threw together this morning).

EDIT: BTW, rox does what you're trying to get xtdesk to do. It opens a window showing whatever you just mounted.

The Emelfm issue is one that has been with DSL for quite a while. In order to fix an old problem with Emelfm and the desktop icons, a wrapper script was created. This script is actually what is first called when you run the "emelfm" command, and it does not pass commandline parameters to the actual Emelfm program. The result is that emelfm never receives the directory and it opens as if it were called without arguments.

You can override this by using emelfm.bin instead of emelfm. I never knew what the original icon problem was, since i don't use desktop icons myself, so it may cause troubles for you. You could edit the emelfm script instead, adding a space followed by "$@" after the emelfm command (including the quotes).

Supermount lives as a patch. It's not updated from 2.4.24 onwards, so I recommend getting it from Con Kolivas patchset, because he has updated it to work with newer kernels. Then on kernel config it can be selected in the filesystems menu..

It's then used like this:
mount none /floppy -t supermount -o dev=/dev/fd0

It's meant for removable devices; when inserted, it does nothing. But if one is in when you cd into that directory, it mounts it automatically, and the second you stop writing to it, you can just remove the floppy/cd/whatever instantly... No mounting/unmounting hassles..
