I forgot one question. If we do not adapt libstorage-ng. Will libstorage-ng survive if fstab contain lines like these? 10.10.10.10:6789:/ /mnt/ceph ceph name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/secret.key,noatime,_netdev 0 2 or gdfuse#default /mnt/gdrive fuse allow_other 0 0 > > In general my estimation how fast I can do this feature without libstorage-ng > and with augeas for fstab is one week of work. > > Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
