Andrey I haven't a clue what you said. I hoped some guru might write a unit. I don't imagine one needs more than five or ten lines. What they are, I know not. Generic - I'm unclear of meaning or relevance. We are not syncing a filesystem. We are copying a folder from a persistent filesystem to a tmpfs filesystem. Yet it's a folder that affects user experience and login logistics. It can't be aggressively parallelized without guidance. Our attempts got somehow clobbered by other systemd or OS operations. We need to copy a $HOME folder to tmpfs at boot time, presumably after filesystems are up, and also after default OS user setup, but before tty or graphical logins. It's a oneshot. We use rsync only to bypass 'cp' file globbing holes. Rsync is simpler with dotfiles involved. The $HOME folder lives in fixed locations. The files inside are don't-cares from any systemd unit standpoint. Might anyone write a unit with the correct target(s) and require(s) and options? I thought about two-unit solutions after reading http://mohan43u.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/systemd-for-simple-backup/ Thanks all -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
