- Correct ejecting of mounted volumes (unmount before eject).
- Mounting of removable media drives (such as CD-ROM drives)
listed in /etc/fstab (removes checking linux's "user" mount option).
- Polling floppy drives over the mount state (FreeBSD HAL doesn't do this).
- Informing the fileview when HAL notifies that mounting is completed.
- Mounting cdrom volume in locale charset. Note: Requires cd9660_iconv!
