Added to this is the question if this automatic logic really covers all cases you could also handle in a simple shell script. I have an encrypted raid and it's a 10 LOC shell script to call all the necessary dependencies in the openrc context. It is definitely questionable how easy this job is if I wanted to solve the same problem using systemd-mount. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
