"Warning:Submount is still under development. It has had moderate testing so far. If it crashes your system, destroys your data, or causes your computer to go mad and try to murder you, the author is not responsible" "SuSE was the first major distribution to include submount, and now is the first to use it in the standard installation. (Now I get to find out if millions of users expose bugs that haven't come to light yet. Yes, I am paranoid.)" This *really* fills me with confidence.
