At present, ivman/hal will only automount on devices which are either hot-pluggable or have an fstab entry. It might be nice if they were to auto-create entries for non-hotpluggable media (i.e. fixed CD-ROMs) which doesn't have an fstab entry as well. Tradition aside, in many cases, an fstab entry is only really useful to decide where fixed media will be mounted into the mount tree. People for whom it is important could still create an overriding fstab entry. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
If you are requesting new features, ask upstream... http://ivman.sourceforge.net/wiki/Support
Newer ivman releses depend on pmount to do exactly that .. pmount and newer ivman are only available in the gentopia overlaay .. for reasons see the pmount and hal bug. Anyways this is really upstream, you should have mailed the ivman developer about it.
