I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but I also care about following (even changing) standards. And I'm afraid I fail to see the problem with choosing another temporary mount point. As you cited from http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/mnt.html in your message on 27.11.2014 23:56: This directory [/mnt] must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead. So, wouldn't using something like "/tmp/xenomai" conform to the new standard as well as work on old systems? -- Best regards, Dietmar Schindler ________________________________ manroland web systems GmbH -- Managing Director: Joern Gosse Registered Office: Augsburg -- Trade Register: AG Augsburg -- HRB-No.: 26816 -- VAT: DE281389840 Confidentiality note: This eMail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
