Re: [SSI-devel] Fun with mount, pmount and eject.

[John H. <john@Calva.COM>]

So, to continue my conversation with myself (and anyone else who cares
to listen in):

Mounting of removable media on individual nodes works quite well, except
if the mount point is a CDSL then the name of the CDSL gets stored in
/etc/mtab instead of the place it's pointing to - this causes confusion
on umount, the wrong entry in /etc/mtab may be deleted.

umount doesn't like the fact that /dev/cdrom is a CDSL, it uses realpath
(in fact it's own private version
of realpath) and gets confused about what device to umount.

pmount and eject don't like having devices outside /dev (they're using
realpath to find out where the device is.

So I think we need a ssi-realpath for these babies, here's my candidate.
