If this were the nfs automounter of old how would you tell it to adopt a new state?
By changing the definition tables.
Why should it be any different?
Because we want to have both: Automount behavior *AND* manually controlled mount behavior. Before systemd, we had it: autofs and mount-on-boot/unmount-on-shutdown with fstab. autofs even supported LDAP maps or YP maps. Now, systemd proponents like you tell us that we don't need manually controlled mount behavior any more. We, people who used both before, simply don't buy your argument. Btw, it's a standard systemd proponents argument: It's not support because you don't need it. As if you would know what I need. And, to make this clear: This is ***NOT*** a paradigm shift, as you wrote before. The paradigm of automounts has been there before and is used heavily[*]. A paradigm shift would introduce something that has not been there before. That is *not* happening here. Joachim [*] Incidentially, LDAP maps are not supported by systemd's automount functionality. Thus, it's deficient and useless as an automounter, IMNSHO. It's neither a replacement for manual fstab configuration nor a proper replacement for autofs. PS: I actually like systemd. I don't like that systemd fanboys react to every systemd critic that's well supported by arguments with "deal with it, that's the new paradigm" -- when there doesn't exist any *new* paradigm at all, but the paradigm has been well established in much better functionality for decades already. In common life, such behavior is called "my way or the highway". -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod, Roedermark, Germany Email: jschrod@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
