Hi,

what are your main problems? One of my main problems is, that some software from bloated desktop environments wakes up sleeping green drives, so I simply don't use software from developers, who don't care about damaging green drives. This means you won' t find gvfs on any of my installs, let alone that I anyway just use a window manager without a desktop environment and that even while there are tools available to mount devices by mouse click, without waking up and damaging green drives, I mount devices by command line.

For example:

"Why is there not a user fstab in which the user can specify mounts he or  she wants to use?"
