Agree, if we choose pmount, we will maintain it ourselves.

But if not use this, we have to investigate the udev rules to finish the
similar job, it's filesystem type dependency, and this makes the udev
script more complicated and frequently modified with more and more
filesystems supported.

The pmount is an easy way to handle this, and it has supported to
process udf, iso9660, vfat, ntfs, hfsplus, hfs, ext3, ext2, ext4, reiserfs,
reiser4, xfs, jfs, omfs, ntfs-fuse, ntfs-3g; and it also easy to maintain
for us to support other filesystem in future (such as exfat).
