Hi nestu,
Current udev can also act as hotplug multiplexer instead of 
/sbin/hotplug, with the added advantage of sending events always in the 
correct order. Newer HAL versions will even depend on it.
I use the following patch to the mount script and it does seem to work 
for me. I don't know if this is the best place, though.
Nothing in moonbase depends on this, so it's not really necessary. But I 
thought I'd mention it anyway, maybe for the upcoming 2.6 iso... ;-)
