I also wonder ... there are FS mounted on /home which is a mounted FS. Is the unmount -a in the shutdown smart enough to unwind properly or does it read though /etc/fstab from the begining
I have /--+ +- /home --+ +-- /anton --+ + -- /Documents + -- /Mail --+ + -- /current + -- /archive
Is unmount smart enough to work 'bottom up'?
I think so, but also fstab has to be in the right order during mount, so I suppose on umount it uses the inverse order.
While its a reasonable assumption, I'm not sure. The only thing I can find for sure is that the /etc/fstab has a field that controls the order in which the fsck is run. I realise that with systemd I will be able to hand-craft scripts that create dependencies, so that ~anton/PDF will be dependent on ~anton being mounted, which will in term be dependent on /home being mounted. But this is just 11.4, no systemd. -- We'll give you your money back if not satisfied, but we do suspect that we will be quite satisfied with your money. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
