Ah, hm. Interesting. Maybe it does want OS support, then.

You possibly don't want to do that if there's a mounted bay device in the dock. We really need to determine some sort of policy when it comes to mounted devices that will potentially be removed by the user over suspend/resume. Do we support this configuration (by not killing the mount point), or do we prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot? -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org
