Patched in GIT hash b18416d.

Unfortunately those options are disabled on purpose due to limitations in
pmount.  Reading the man page (http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/pmount)
for pmount reveals no way to set those options; if someone bugs the
upstream pmount project and they make those options available, those
options can be reenabled in TDE with a few lines of code.

Likely a udev/eject problem; it works here but your previous comments
indicate that your udev subsystem may not be working as well for some
reason.

See above comment.; not likely to be a TDE problem.

Same as above.

Good question!  I don't have a floppy drive handy to test with.  Remember
though that TDE relies on udev for transmission of all device
plug/unplug/state-change events, so you might be able to find out using
the udevadm monitor command I posted earlier.
