[New: openFATE 313177] Persistent mountpoints in /media
Feature added by: Ned Ulbricht (ned_ulbricht) Feature #313177, revision 1 Title: Persistent mountpoints in /media openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ned Ulbricht (ned_ulbricht) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Prior to 12.1, it was simple to create persistent directories for use as mountpoints under /media. Going back even further, /media itself was added to the FHS because many people had been creating persistent mountpoints under /mnt, and the consensus was that /mnt should be reserved for its traditional use as a top-level temporary mountpoint. Now however, in 12.1, with the adoption of systemd, /media is being mounted as a tmpfs. In addition this change was also rolled into the sysvinit setup. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-10/msg00546.html Since I'm using sysvinit with 12.1 (and not going to switch to systemd for anything other than test use during this release cycle), for now I've just decided to comment out the lines that mount /media as a tmpfs in /etc/init.d/boot.localfs Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Gratuitously breaking stuff that used to work makes people grumpy. Very grumpy. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313177
