[opensuse-factory] Why mounting /media as tmpfs?
Hi, from the package changelog of aaa_base we know * Fri Oct 14 2011 lnussel@... - mount /media as tmpfs - resolve symlink for rcXX -> XX.service sytemd magic /media is now mounted as tmpfs. But why are we doing this? Unfortunately there is no reference to a bug or openFATE ID. It would be an advantage to our users if those bug and openFATE IDs are also readable to them. :) There's no bug caused by this /media tmpfs mount. I missed only some sub dirs in /media after moving an openSUSE 11.4 system to 12.1 RC 1. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

To complement, when this hit me in end august I've ask how can I rehave some mount point under media The solution is re-adding them in a .conf file under /etc/tmpfiles.d like /etc/tmpfiles.d/ioda-media.conf # re-create our needed directoy # /media is now a tmpfs d /media/backup 0755 root root - d /media/iso 0755 root root - d /media/obsbuild 0755 root root - full syntax in man tmpfiles.d -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot

Are you referring to systemd or sysvinit? There are no Fate entries for things the former does of course. When I noticed the /media tmpfs I just picked that feature for sysv too as it seems sensible. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

In my case I saw it with sysvinit. The change log hunk I quoted is from aaa_base

As systemd also doesn't reference a particular bug we must be happy the way it is. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
