So now we're suposed to choose our filesystems on the basis of the init system?
You are not. I was proposing that if you wanted to dynamically resize a file system while the system is live and the file system in use then use one that had been designed for that. It has nothing to do with sysvinit or systemd. I was using ReiserFS and resizing the live file systems long before systemd was available. Ditto LVM. People here have been using other live resizeable file systems with sysvinit, some of those people have expressed a discontent with systemd, but that hasn't affected their choice of file system. The resizing of a live file system has nothing to do with the choice of init. Like ReiserFS, BtrrFs is a b-tree journalled file system and can manage online live resizing. You might also look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS#Online_resizing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NILFS#Supported_Features Live resizing of file systems existed and was practised long before the advent of Linux :-) If you take a look at the last column at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Features you'll see that with some qualification, even the extX file systems are live resizeable. RTFM RESIZE2FS(8) The qualification being <quote> If the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel and the file system supports on-line resizing. </quote> YMMV. That's one reason I use ReiserFS. The other is never having to worry about the inode to data ratios. All these file systems existed before systemd. The ability to expand one of them has nothing to do with systemd. Having an system that automatically mounts according to a state definition table has nothing to do with systemd. If there is a 'bug" it is that people could arbitrarily alter the system configuration so that it was not in accord with what the system definition tables said it was. If, though human oversight (which is all to common and why we automate so much) they forgot to put it back, then things are screwed and there's no trail since they didn't update the configuration definition (or if you wish, description) tables.
