Well, with systemd.mount it is already possible to mount things that are not in /etc/fstab. That file has same disadvantages as any other configuration files in «unstructured» format. You can't override some specific setting of it, disable some mount by simple command (that is not sed) and so on. Also if AIUI, it is not trivial to make it work with just fstab because something has to create a swap during the boot and fstab entry clearly can't do that. > Kevin Kofler > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org - -- Igor Raits <ignatenkobr...@fedoraproject.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEcwgJ58gsbV5f5dMcEV1auJxcHh4FAl7bcA8ACgkQEV1auJxc Hh5VGA//SNQOQdLoTvqZKdfS9DpPSsvh/Lii/FMe38viOmy6hcAjQJ6Z3PlJX9cb e/4i8af/OTzYkoYLQLlRwOfXszcZvKCEtjAJz3yfOTOxwxuItucsC7HeuMXiDlpG 3RuV2yLoZFOo+BwlfjFLxvNZRag+w8GLuSLFO0Nes1xjZMNwoI31PVyIykZ60YsH LX7vPZ80QOKAQHpPuxChyOIH0uXelGN8Mnl7lVu9jPPaDQaCzbUpcSBTeiNK0MGK oUFMXB0zfTZqk0iLI3VVdf3MZl2hro9R4c3AkbDsitcFwlWoMuM07U8jdNvuf0pP Zlm5hnZ/Xks3RzC+6wsIqB//ubS5f6WYLt4B/tH4zhAyW2CIxcWx3n9eonLshFX+ QqS92HuS/KBfcVG5GCpAMVwBdZwikjxbnf0CQ0az34iae2FmKwyVc2jKOwwdwCke eGnMeo623p4uuLC+R9LwjQCAK8BHi6dQqRgY+Ybp6ymzPpffqaWzENxRmGeG/0M3 cNjrsHQlKvxnXhbbungeJIEPVFXn4Y/V1sXOrj5JMW/M9Dk44M3lrATiiiojZDxA tRsKgtGKzT4WTp67N4/dnK61ByCDAew39IG8JFUr/2dUDoDkEpXk4mSxcU3K7kln +yagnUD6UTTeWWtq76nKer9ydjrN/tdi9yVfHGFXqbKboFKQ/ok= =rfaN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
