Hello,
Why supermount code is not included in kernel?
It's maintained by Juan Jose Quintela from Mandrake...

Yeah I wonder the same for some time . Is there a good reason not to include supermount in kernel?

Its not considered of sufficient quality currently, and has or had races
that were not fixed. I'm sure Juan will submit it post 2.6 if he gets it
to a polished state

Watch this space. There's some work happening with 2.4 bug testing with some
supermount development work and then 2.5 will follow soon enough. The current
version (call it a fork?) of 1.2.5 has a problem with filesystems that can
write the same file with different case (eg vfat writing file.c and File.c)
but can be found at the new sourceforge home:
http://supermount-ng.sf.net
A bugfix for that known bug should be available soon and then it will need
lots more testing...
