[Tfug] mount troubles

[erich]

It doesn't matter which distro you use,
          It would take a long time to integrate a box into my network. 
It doesn't
help the user that the kernel & associated services have to prevail against
security vulnerabilities. The good guys are on one side, the bad guys on the
other, and I'm caught in the middle.
          Don't throw it out. Try and reuse it. Right? Maybe this 
doesn't work
for electromechanical hard drives.
