But it would be good to get some pointers in how to do admin in a systemX environment. Does anyone know of a HOWTO for doing standard system maintenance tasks, such as re-sizing filesystems, in a systemX environment?
This whole thread and earlier threads have been way tl;dr.
Is there an answer to the above?
I.e. how are things supposed to work in 13.1 and newer? What are the bugs? Does noauto always work if set on boot? How to change a volume from auto to noauto during maintenance?

I haven't really seen a satisfactory answer, from just reading the documentation, but not actually trying anything, the following might work: 1) change the fstab to make a mount point noauto (man systemX.mount) 2) systemctl daemon-reload to reload the manager configuration (man systemctl) 3) umount and make changes. 4) reverse fstab changes and do another reload of the manager configuration But if this is supposed to be a UNIX-like system, I think the unexpected behaviour subsequent to umount is wrong. It seems that, for better or worse, GNU Linux is now transitioning to something that is truly not UNIX. It may be better to make a clean break rather than creating a minefield for old players. GNU Linux++ or LinuxNT perhaps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
