Magicdev seems to be what is offered by Mdk 10.1 - but I never changed from
supermount as it has always worked perfectly for me.  I have, in the past,
though, simply changed 'supermount' to 'auto' in fstab and created a desktop
icon to mount it.

Anyway, the reason I gave my fstab line was as reassurance that there is no
problem as such with the model.  It is working fine for me.
