I mentioned it because of its potential for the sysadmin to use it as ransomware against the users. (Well, the BOFH community will only mildly grin in their retirement homes.) https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/ points to a man page systemd-homed.service(8). Archlinux wiki has hands-on instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-homed But getting it on Debian still might become adventurous. > (Not even Debian Sid has mention of it). Sid is quite outdated when it comes to newest kernel bugs or features. For example https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1801353 never made it into Debian. Kernel commit 78ed001d9e71 overwrote the function pointer for ioctl() on sr by the pointer to a legacy ioctl() function. Result was that the root filesystem of the installation ISO could not be mounted. (Not specific to ISO 9660. But generic bugs have a tendency to show up first on the newest ISOs.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
