Is there anyone that has any thoughts on making mount a single step? mount_msdos mount_cd9960 mount_ntfs mount_ext2fs just mount Under another x86 Unix based OS they use just "mount" for all filesystem and device mounting, and determine the filesystem type using "dtype" (data type), so instead of using a separate mount command for every hardware device or filesystem, it is just "mount." (of course their are perhaps the odd exception) To achieve this a intermediate step to determine the data-type would be required then perhaps to call the appropriate mount command with the command line parameters. Has anyone got any thoughts?
