Thanks for clearing that up. Does that mean that the
delay-before-reading-/proc/mounts is the way to go?
What about the other points raised by Al Viro on LKML
(_not_ the namespace issues - if namespaces are ever used
in Linux there will bigger breakage to fix):
- there may be more than one mountpoint for any given device
- hald may find the device in /proc/mounts, but the mountpoint
may have been mount --move'd away (there's no uevent for that yet, right?)
Cheers, Roderich
