I agree and it should have been listed by systemctl.
I think you are incorrect. It could have been created under /run/systemd/generator/ and that's all. You are only going to see a report with systemctl if systemctl knows about it. Now why should it know about it unless it has something running against it?? you are thinking of systemctl as a kind of super 'ls'. Perhaps, but only of the active units. If the unit isn't active then it won't appear. The whole issue we are dealing with is that for some reason the new unit, for /tmp/anton.iso never did have something running against it. Systemctl raw listings are of things that are, or have been, running.
You could run a before and after find listing to see if that happened. To my mind that is the most meaningful test to see if the generator ran.
Running 'systemctl' should suffice to list known items.
Known to be what? lookit, I'm sure that when testing the developers ran the fstab/generator just like that, just to produce the dot-mount unit files and check that they were what they expected them to be AND NOTHING ELSE. No exec of the mount program on each and everyone one of them. There's nothing magical about the generator. It's just a generator. I don't understand your resistance to the alternative approach I've suggested. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
