The whole HAL awareness for mount/umount business kinda makes by brain
hurt - though that could be because I never really sat down and thought
about the problem systematically. When I put HAL into Solaris, the fear
of touching legacy stuff was overwhelming. As a compromise, I introduced
new commands rmmount/rmumount with the same syntax as mount/umount, so
the hardcore CLI dudes just need to prepend "rm" (stands for "removable
media", an old Solaris-ism for non-fixed storage) before their favorite
incantation. Needless to say, the stuff you guys doing, I watch with
fascination :)
