No, it's not necessary from grub's perspective. > IMHO it is better that /boot remains unmounted whilst the system is running > making it more secure. Well all the files in /boot are 0644 root:root. Since root can mount the directory, what difference does it make? The real issue here is that I am the only user of the system. I also run no services accessible from other systems except sharing a couple of data only directories via samba. And those are only accessible by my other computers on my local network. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
