Software is only tested to a certain degree. So mounts are tested to a sensible number, if you move outside it, you have to bet on luck if it's supported or not. At this point, I kinda doubt this issue has anything to do with Debian itself, but will most likely be an issue/limitation of the Linux

testing, various tmpfs /run directories, df -x tmpfs

recent bloat of tmpfs /run/{blah} looks horrible whenever i check the status of my file systems. it would be much better if those all went under just one tmpfs. luckily there is an option for that so i'll alias df with that option included. :) = Filesystem Size Used Avail

Documentation improvement (optical and USB install media)

Nobody is advocating removing the optical disk media options. There are no plans to do so, that I am aware of. Planning to do so would not make sense, since the current build process happily produces images suitable for both optical disks and USB filesystem devices. All the discussion has

Pour aller encore plus loin que ce se dit Pierre, si tu la criticité est telle que tu as besoin de RAID pour tes sauvegardes, tu dois aussi mettre en place un plan de simulation de restauration des sauvegardes. En effet c'est assez frustrant de de rendre compte que ta sauvegarde n'est pas valide
