New Revision: 354458
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/354458

Log:
  Extend the linux rc script to mount the neccessary file systems,
  set ELF fallback brand, and load pty(4).

We never did something like that. We have it documented everywhere that it needs to be done manually. So this is at least a POLA violation. It is great that the nocover option is used in the mount, but it's still some kind of layering violation (I may want to have only a subset mounted, or nothing at all).

I do not object to the functionality, but I think it needs to be configurable (an option to influence if the auto-mount is done or not, doesn't matter to me what the default behavior is, as long as it is configurable) and documented (UPDATING, handbook, man-pages, maybe even the release notes).

Bye,
Alexander.
