systemd has so called ".mount" files that act as a (not sure if this is a right word) fstab "lines". There is a file shipped by systemd called "tmp.mount" that will mount /tmp as a tmpfs as default. But as everything else, defaults can be overriden. No single person/project can please everyone. To override or even to disable (called "mask") default (or any kind of) unit in systemd environment is to create a file with the same name in /etc/systemd/system as a symlink to /dev/null. In this case it would be "ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount" if I'm not mistaken. > worked.

On my system, journalctl uses less. If for some reason it doesn't on yours, you can always export PAGER env var, ie PAGER=less. Simple "q" works to terminate pager here. > </sarcasm> > > Error: tag </sarcasm> without opening tag > > -- > Sorry about that, but I still think it was one of the worst moves LFS > has ever done.

Yea, I'd prefer the same approach, but that would make it way harder for BLFS. Ie, some packages in BLFS will be installed if building systemd, others will not, and having two udevs will cause twice the trouble for post-LFS part (2 udev sections, for gudev lib, etc). > > Anyway, lets see the future will bring... > Good luck! > > -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
