Re: [Thinstation-developer] Corrupt USB sticks issue

[Nikolai V. I. <nv...@sv...>]

According to linux-2.6.17.7/Documentation/filesystems/supermount.txt

"You mount a supermount filesystem with
the normal mount command, using the syntax

         mount -t supermount -o <superfs-options>,--,<subfs-options> 
none <mpt>
...
where

         <superfs-options> are the options you want to pass to supermount
         itself.  These are described below.

         <subfs-options> are the options you want supermount to pass to 
the dismountable filesystem underneath."
