Yes, I agree. Also, again, as mentioned: we need to place this in a location that is both writable (at least sometimes) and available from the moment we transition from the initrd into the host. Otherwise we'd have to reload configuration half-way after the other file systems become available, and requeue a transaction which I'd really like to avoid to have as a default. /var, /srv, /home do not qualify hence. /etc does. Hence it needs to be /etc. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
