Last time I saw supermount code I almost lost my lunch (although that
was the 2.4 version, I'm not entirely optimistic, and I've just eaten).

For 2.6, it's entirely possible that it can be done almost entirely in
userspace using udev & dbus. The work Robert Love and the other ximian
folks are doing on this seems to be moving along at a speedy rate.
