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!
I certainly agree with you about dropping of fstab being a bad idea. However, it would certainly be nice if the system would still boot with emtpy fstab. And I guess it already does. rootfs is available from proc/cmdline, and everything else in my fstab is non-essential: /dev/system/root / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/mapper/cr_home /home xfs nofail 0 2 /dev/system/swap swap swap discard=once 0 0 LABEL=local /local xfs noatime,logbufs=8,logbsize=262144 1 2 LABEL=space /space xfs noatime,logbufs=8,logbsize=262144 1 2 /local/.debug /usr/lib/debug none bind 0 0 All the old /dev/pts, /dev/shm, ... mountpoints are already autogenerated, or so it seems. Now a standard setup without additional mountpoints might just work, because everything but / is not strictly necessary for booting. And if I look into the "new normal" btrfs fstab, it's only gibberish to me anyway ;-) And having additional mounts in an /etc/fstab.d/ dropin-style directory might actually be sexy wrt automatic configuration management and still be easy enough to understand for us old farts :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
