Package: libblkid1
Version: 2.16.1-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
/etc is a place for configuration files and not for runtime status
informations like blkid.tab. If you need a place where you can put
runtime data without using /var, mount a tmpfs in /lib/libblkid1 and put
your file there. This is what init scripts do with /lib/init/rw. But as
long as the contents of the file /etc/blkid.tab changes dynamicly, it is
a violation of a must directive of FHS 2.3:
|/etc : Host-specific system configuration
|
|Purpose
|
|The /etc hierarchy contains configuration files. A "configuration file" is a
|local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and
|cannot be an executable binary. [4]
Bye, Jörg.
