Supermount in Sarge?

Hi,

How to use supermount in Debian/Sarge? I've tried to the debian package for the supermount but I only found the kernel patch for 2.4 kernel. Now I'm using kernel 2.6.8-1, is there any debian packages for the patch for kernel 2.6 or should I recompile the kernel source to apply a patch?

Sorry for my english

Thanks.

debian, i dont think has a kernel w/supermount. ur going to have to add the patch urself, but supermount is only available for kernel 2.6.3 and below.

Try using autofs instead. It's a bit more complicated to set up, but it's more flexible in the end, I believe, and it runs on all systems without having to futz with the kernel.

Thanks for the reply!

Now I just start working to try the autofs. Actually I don't really care whether I can do automount like in windows or not, but my friend that just installed Linux feels that it is annoying to type mount and umount command.....

supermount worked in sarge for me with 2.6.6, but it occaisionally crash.
