It's rather disappointing that so many people have decided to skip over this, and prefer to instead complain, insinuate, and argue on list rather than starting with this simple, more likely to be productive, action. > The problem is not the technical solution.

When this was done in rc.sysinit, every change to how it mounted /proc wasn't discussed on the devel list. When we switched to having dracut be the primary way that API filesystems are mounted, that wasn't put up to a FESCo vote. And it's also not fair to say that 'Fedora developers' aren't involved; heck, there's at least 10 of them on the systemd mailing list, by a quick count. If you mean, "it wasn't posted to devel@, or it wasn't brought to FESCo", well, we don't review every change to upstream packages in this way... if we did, we'd be drowned in minutiae. I mean, I could have brought the addition on how to add multiple IPv4 addresses to interfaces to FESCo for discussion and vote, but I've got better things to do with my time. In any case, I'm pretty sure it's not even intentional. systemd has two areas of mounting: - systemd mounts API filesystems without them needing to be in /etc/fstab. This is for a variety of reasons - having every system installer have to write /proc, /sys, and so on is pretty wasteful. It also can give inexperienced admins the idea that it's configuration that can be changed - they then rename the mount point from /proc to /processes and *kaboom*. - systemd mounts system filesystems from /etc/fstab. This includes mount options, etc., and (I'd think) would be fairly uncontroversial. The first of these happens before the second (as you obviously need /proc, /sys, etc. very early), however systemd already has /lib/systemd/system/systemd-remount-api-vfs.service: ... [Unit] Description=Remount API VFS ... ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-remount-api-vfs ... And if you look at that code: /* Goes through /etc/fstab and remounts all API file systems, applying * options that are in /etc/fstab that systemd might not have * respected */ So, it just looks like an ordinary bug. File it, we can get it fixed, and we can all live happily ever after. Bill -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
