err, vold. Automountd is sort of the reverse function - try to mount a known
volume when it is accessed, while vold tries to mount whatever is inserted
into a changable media drive, shortly after it is inserted.

AmigaOS also has something like what you propose, and - with the exception
of the floppy drive where there is a disk change write going from the=20
drive to the electronics, triggering an interupt to the CPU - the
what-AmigaOS-calls-drivers poll e.g. the CD-ROM at e.g. 10-second
intervals to see if the media has changed.

Regards,
