Congratulations, Steve.
There remains a fundamental problem with automatic mount/umount.
While automounting is safe, auto-unmounting is not if it is triggered by
device removal. Unmounting must be done *before* removing the device if
anything has been written to it, otherwise data is lost and the
filesystem may be corrupted; also running applications with open files
in the mountpoint can broken.
