[TriLUG] Will the questions never stop? (Mandrake CD/Supermount)

[Chris Knowles]

Tried stat on the directory, see the behavior.  If I make hdc be a
non-supermount drive then all is well, hdd and fd0 work with supermount.

Now, hdc is a brand new reader, so I replaced with a reader that is
about 1 yr old, and get the exact same behavior.

Is supermount just broken with these drives?  Is there any place I
should report this behavior to?

Thanks.
