Yeah, I theory. But that part of FHS, specifying enumerated directories there is one of the most silly parts of FHS: "The following directories _must_ be in /media: floppy, cdrom, cdrecorder, zip." I would not read too much into it, it just does not make much sense at all; somebody was clearly completely confused when writing that. :) >> Then it makes sense to make it volatile and allows / to be read-only. > > If you want / to be read only, make it a symlink into /run/media and > have a tmpfiles.d snippet that enables it? > > I think removing directories from /media on reboot is violating the > principle of least surprise. Yeah, we should leave it alone. And if people want that 'zip' and 'floppy' directories, they should be happy. :) Kay _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
