There are some configuration files not owned by any package, such as /etc/fstab
In such an example, it might be advantageous to have YaST produce an /usr/etc/fstab at installation time, to provide the 'default filesystem layout', but then have modifications present in /etc.
I would propose to drop /etc/fstab and only use systemd.mounts. Don't know why upstream systemd thinks mount units should not be used instead of /etc/fstab.
just to be sure I get this right... /etc/fstab is for the local admin to add stuff which otherwise is defined by systemd.mounts? To be honest, this will drive away lots of admins coming from a real UNIX background! I always thought of systemd was a bad thing, but some/a lot of parts really work OK in the meantime, and most admins got used to it. But removing /etc/fstab? No way!
Upstream systemd does not recommend getting rid of /etc/fstab. Mount units were designed to express dependencies on mounts and to support *transient* mounts via a reasonable API. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
